The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic, numinous, and prophetic.” — The New York Times The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka’s stories, from the classic tales such as “The Metamorphosis,” “In the Penal Colony,” and “A Hunger Artist” to shorter pieces and fragments that Max Brod, Kafka’s literary executor, released after Kafka’s death. With the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka’s narrative work is included in this volume. “[Kafka] spoke for millions in their new unease; a century after his birth, he seems the last holy writer, and the supreme fabulist of modern man’s cosmic predicament.” —from the Foreword by John Updike Review: Table Of Contents! - Hello All, I recently purchased this book in faith, though I was also frustrated by the lack of information in the book description. So, I will provide here for you the table of contents so that whoever purchases this book from now on can know exactly what they are getting: (By the way, the book is beautifully new & well designed, with the edges of the pages torn, not cut.) When it says the complete stories, it means it. The foreword assures that the book contains "all of the fiction that Kafka committed to publication during his lifetime." That meas his novels, which he did NOT intend to be published but left note in his will to be destroyed, are NOT included: The Trial, America, The Castle. I have put his more famous stories in caps.

How does one reconcile the contradictions we encounter everyday? Kafka doesn’t answer that question, but after reading his work you will not be able to ignore the presence of the contradictions. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #22,801 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #335 in Short Stories (Books) #763 in Classic Literature & Fiction #2,090 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,176 Reviews | ## Images ![Franz Kafka: The Complete Stories - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611lvq-Z7zL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Table Of Contents! *by E***R on August 28, 2011* Hello All, I recently purchased this book in faith, though I was also frustrated by the lack of information in the book description.
