Franz Kafka’s bizarrely comedic meditation on human feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation expressed through the story of a man who is transformed overnight into a giant beetle, now in a beautiful gift edition for the Union Square & Co. Signature Gilded Classics line.

Only yesterday, Gregor Samsa was a meek salesman, browbeaten by his unappreciative employer and depended on fiercely by his ungrateful family. This morning, Gregor awakens to discover that, overnight, he has been transformed into a monstrous insect. First published in 1915, Kafka’s best-known tale has inspired numerous interpretations for more than a century and helped to establish the term “Kafkaesque” as a reference to a bizarre and nightmarish experience. This collection of his short fiction, in a new translation, includes more than thirty of his short stories and sketches, including “In the Penal Colony,” “The Stoker,” “The Judgment,” “A Country Doctor,” “A Hunger Artist,” and more.

About the Author

Franz Kafka (1883–1924) was one of the major fiction writers of the 20th century. He was born to a middle-class, German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, Bohemia (presently the Czech Republic). His unique body of writing—much of which is incomplete and was mainly published posthumously—is considered to be among the most influential in Western literature.
