Kafka Franz Metamorphosis
"A book must be an ice-axe to break the seas frozen inside our soul." Franz Kafka Metamorphosis tells the tale of Gregor Samsa, a young salesman, who wakes up one day to find he has turned into "a kind of giant bug". Samsa has been a model of virtue for years, single- handedly supporting his parents and sister, but suddenly he finds himself an outcast in his own home, facing a world in which he no longer has a place. Both harrowing and humorous, Metamorphosis is a strange, subtle and moving story which everyone should read.

When the young salesman Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning transformed into a monstrous insect, his shock and incomprehension are coupled with the panic of being late for work and having to reveal his appearance to family and colleagues.

Kafka Franz Franz Kafka. Ein Landarzt
»Immer mehr von Schnee uberhauft, immer zweckloser werdend, stand ich da.« Einige von Kat Menschik illustrierte Bucher sind inzwischen Kult – nun gestaltet sie eine eigene Reihe: Werke der Weltliteratur und andere Lieblingstexte, in Szene gesetzt von Kat Menschik. Ein eisig kalter, schneeverwehter Winter; ein Landarzt »in gro?er Verlegenheit«. Ein Notfalleinsatz steht an, aber sein Kutschpferd verendet gerade in der Kalte. Vergeblich schickt der Landarzt Rosa, sein Dienstmadchen, ins Dorf, um ein neues Pferd zu leihen, doch keines ist zu haben. Plotzlich taucht ein ratselhafter Pferdeknecht mit zwei prachtigen kraftigen Tieren auf und spannt sie an. Statt aber auf dem Kutschbock Platz zu nehmen, sturzt er sich auf Rosa, klatscht in die Hande – und bevor der Landarzt seiner Dienerin zur Hilfe eilen kann, rei?en die Pferde ihn in der Kutsche mit sich … So der Anfang der Titelgeschichte von »Ein Landarzt. Kleine Erzahlungen«, die 1919 bei Kurt Wolff erschienen sind. Den anderen Figuren des Bandes geht es nicht viel besser. Ob z. B. in »Auf der Galerie«, »Vor dem Gesetz«, im »Bericht fur eine Akademie«, oder beim Odradek in »Sorge eines Hausvaters« – Kafkas Figuren werden getrieben von seltsamen Geschicken und sie tragen dunkle Geheimnisse in sich. Freilich geht es in diesen Geschichten alles andere als blutleer zu – Kat Menschik gibt mit ihren farbenprachtig schillernden Bildern eine grandiose Interpretation des ersten Erzahlbandes von Franz Kafka. Grandiose Texte, feinste Ausstattungen, ungewohnliche Materialien, uberraschende Interpretationen. Alle Bande im selben Format, alle Bande mit dreiseitigem Farbschnitt – aber jeder Band in anderer Ausstattung und jeder Band mit eigener Bildsprache. Ein Fest fur Geist und Sinne.

Kafka Franz The Essential Kafka
Like George Orwell, Franz Kafka has given his name to a world of nightmare, but in Kafka's world, it is never completely clear just what the nightmare is. The Trial, where the rules are hidden from even the highest officials, and if there is any help to be had, it will come from unexpected sources, is a chilling, blackly amusing tale that maintains, to the very end, a relentless atmosphere of disorientation. Superficially about bureaucracy, it is in the last resort a description of the absurdity of 'normal' human nature. Still more enigmatic is The Castle. Is it an allegory of a quasi-feudal system giving way to a new freedom for the subject? The search by a central European Jew for acceptance into a dominant culture? A spiritual quest for grace or salvation? An individual's struggle between his sense of independence and his need for approval? Is it all of these things? And K? Is he opportunist, victim, or an outsider battling against elusive authority? Finally, in his fables, Kafka deals in dark and quirkily humorous terms with the insoluble dilemmas of a world which offers no reassurance, and no reliable guidance to resolving our existential and emotional uncertainties and anxieties.

Kafka Franz Amerika
Karl Rossman has been banished by his parents to America, following a family scandal. There, with unquenchable optimism, he throws himself into the strange experiences that lie before him as he slowly makes his way into the interior of the great continent. Although Kafka's first novel (begun in 1911 and never finished), can be read as a menacing allegory of modern life, it is also infused with a quite un-Kafkaesque blitheness and sunniness, brought to life in this lyrical translation that returns to the original manuscript of the book.

Kafka Franz Amerika
‘No other voice has borne truer witness to the dark of our times’ George Steiner After an embarrassing sexual misadventure with a servant girl, sixteen-year-old Karl Rossman is banished to America by his parents. Expected to redeem himself in the land of opportunity, Karl’s youthful breeziness propels him into a series of bizarre escapades which threaten to ensnare him permanently. Though dredged with humour and optimism, Kafka’s first novel bears his distinctive hallmarks, as young Karl becomes mired in an ever more unreal and oppressive system.

Kafka Franz Reisetagebucher
In den Jahren 1910 bis 1912 machten Franz Kafka und Max Brod unabhangig voneinander Aufzeichnungen von ihren gemeinsamen Reisen; die Gegenuberstellung der Niederschriften verdeutlicht das Gegensatzliche im zusammen Erlebten. »Das Schlo? in Friedland. Die vielen Moglichkeiten, es zu sehen: aus der Ebene, von einer Brucke, aus dem Park, zwischen entlaubten Baumen, aus dem Wald zwischen gro?en Tannen durch.« »Nie im Leben bin ich je wieder so ausgeglichen heiter gewesen wie in den mit Kafka verbrachten Reisewochen... - es war ein gro?es Gluck, in Kafkas Nahe zu leben.« Max Brod

Kafka Franz He: Shorter Writings of Franz Kafka (riverrun ed)
This is a Kafka emergency kit, a congregation of the brief, the minor works that are actually major. Joshua Cohen has produced a frame that refuses distinctions between what is a story, a letter, a workplace memo and a diary entry, also including popular favourites like The Bucket Rider, The Penal Colony and The Burrow. Here we see Kafka's preoccupations in writing about animals, messiah variations, food and exercise, each in his signature style. Cohen's selection emphasises the stately structure of utterly coherent logic, within an utterly incoherent illogical world, showing how Kafka harnessed the humblest grammar to metamorphic power until the predominant effect ceases to be the presence of an unreliable narrator, but the absence of the universe's only reliable narrator. Who is God.
