Synopsis "Metamorphosis & Some Other Stories. (Heathen Edition)"

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was a prolific German-speaking Bohemian author based in Prague, now widely regarded as one of the principal literary figures of the 20th century. His stories, infused with acute realism and the absurdly fantastic, often feature isolated protagonists facing bizarre, surrealistic predicaments and bewildering, impenetrable socio-bureaucratic powers. In 1915, he published one of his best-known works, Metamorphosis, which tells the story of salesman Gregor Samsa, who wakes one morning to find himself inexplicably transformed into a giant insect and struggles to adjust to his new condition. Also collected in this edition are ten more Kafka short stories and parables, including In the Penal Colony, A Hunger Artist, and A Report for an Academy.

(Praga, Imperio austrohúngaro, 1883 - Kierling, Austria, 1924) Escritor bohemo en lengua alemana. Su obra, de las más influyentes de la literatura universal, es una de las pioneras en la fusión de elementos realistas con fantásticos y tiene como principales temas los conflictos paternofiliales, la ansiedad, el existencialismo, la brutalidad física y psicológica, la culpa, la filosofía del absurdo, la burocracia y las transformaciones espirituales. Escribió novelas insignes y gran número de relatos cortos, además dejó una abundante correspondencia y escritos autobiográficos. Su peculiar estilo literario ha sido comúnmente asociado con la filosofía artística del existencialismo y el expresionismo. Sus relaciones personales también tuvieron gran impacto en su escritura. El término kafkiano se usa en español para describir situaciones insólitas, por lo absurdas y angustiosas.
