Gérard Rudent Book order (chronological)

One of Kafka's most famous stories, 'Metamorphosis' explores the notions of alienation and human loneliness, demonstrating his extraordinary narrative techniques and depth of imagination. In the second story the relationship between a father and son is explored.

This volume contains all of Kafka's shorter fiction, from fragments, parables and sketches to longer tales. Together they reveal the breadth of Kafka's literary vision and the extraordinary imaginative depth of his thought. Some are well-known, others are mere jottings, observations of daily life, given artistic form through Kafka's unique perception of the world.
