It is the first volume in English to consider his deeply strange, resonantly humane letters and journal entries alongside his classic short fiction and lyrical vignettes. 'Transformed' is a vivid retranslation of one of Kafka's signature stories, 'Die Verwandlung,' commonly rendered in English as 'The Metamorphosis.' Composed of short, black-comic parables, fables, fairy tales, reflections, as well as classic stories like 'In the Penal Colony,' Kafka's uncanny foreshadowing of the Twentieth Century's nightmare, Konundrum refreshes the writer's mythic storytelling powers for a new generation of readers."--$cProvided by publisher 676 $a838/.9/12 676 $a838.912 700 $aKafka$b Franz$0155661 701 $aWortsman$b Peter$01244804 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136698703321 996 $aKonundrum$92887529 997 $aUNINA
