The Trial
Franz Kafka

Schocken, 1995

Good translation...
I can't "review" The Trial. As George Steiner writes in the introduction: "The thought that there is anything fresh to be said of Franz Kafka's The Trial is implausible." I will however, comment on this particular edition. I have not read any other translation of ...
  
  











  



  
The Metamorphosis
Franz Kafka

Waking Lion Press, 2006

The Metamorphosis, first published in 1915, is the most famous of Kafka's works, along with The Trial and The Castle. The story begins when a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, wakes up to find himself transformed into a giant insect. Curiously, his condition does not arouse surprise in his family, who merely despise it as an impending burden. As ...
  
  











  



  
The Castle: A new translation based on the restored text
Franz Kafka

Schocken, 1998

Classic Account of Alienation and Absurdity
Review of "The Castle" by Franz Kafka This book made me into a Kafka admirer. He brings life to characters in otherwise drab situations and makes them seem very real. The reader feels the frustration, absurdity, the pettiness and the powerlessness in a personal ...
  
  











  



  
The Metamorphosis (Norton Critical Editions)
Franz Kafka

W. W. Norton, 1996

This is how all classics should be treated.
For the reader new to Kafka as a writer, there is a lot of baggage to be thrown off: everything implied by the cliche 'Kafkaesque' we've gathered from films, other books and the like (alienation, angst, modern man and the Absurd, the terror of totalitarian bureaucracy, ...

The Trial
Franz Kafka

Schocken, 1999

Was it really an unfinished business????
Block, the painter, and Leni among others, are strangers who understand the complications of Joseph K's case as well as the details of court operations. The story exist in a state of total chaos, characters come and go for no clear reason, out of the blue, women go ...
  
  











  



  
The Complete Stories
Franz Kafka

Schocken, 1995

A Treasure of Madness
Kafka is still "the rage," one supposes, but it is hard to see how, now that he has become an icon. This is a fabulous collection. Updike is right that these stories are excellent. Kafka has had enormous influence on modern fiction. He may be one of a handful of highly ...

The Zürau Aphorisms of Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka

Schocken, 2006

Heroism
Writing about Kafka is just as difficult and always more useless (in the Kafka-esque sense) than reading Kafka. Really the only people who ought to be allowed to write about Kafka are those who live in caves or at the bottom of wells or in high mountain towers and ...
  
  











  



  
The Metamorphosis
Franz Kafka

Three Rivers Press, 2004

perfect visual representation of the original
this graphic novel version of kafka's metamorphosis does every bit of justice to the original novella. the artwork is heavy on the black ink, giving it the perfect amount of darkness, yet gregor's antagonists are portrayed comically -- their facial expressions fit ...
  
  











  



  
Amerika
Franz Kafka

Schocken, 1996

A few impressions
There is an excellent review of this book on 'The Amazon site' by AJ Feinsinger that captures the story of this work, and much of its strangeness. I am only adding a few impressions of my own. First I concur with the observation that this is a book written by a ...
  
  











  



  
Blue Octavo Notebooks
Franz Kafka

Exact Change, 2004

The Gentleman fom Ontario
When I first bought this book, it wasn't blue either. But when I brought it home and put it on my shelf, things changed irrevocably. Now when I am sitting and writing late in the evening, out of the corner of my eye I can see the book, sitting amongst its faithless ...
  
  











  



  
The Metamorphosis, In The Penal Colony, and Other Stories
Franz Kafka

Touchstone, 2000

The Metamorphosis
I am german. I have never read the english translation of "The Metamorphosis" and so I don't know how it is and how it sounds in english. I can only say that it is a really deep, intensive and wonderful story in german language. "Die Verwandlung" has really changed my ...
