Publisher's Summary
In the bizarre world of Franz Kafka, salesmen turn into giant bugs, apes give lectures at college academies, and nightmares probe the mysteries of modern humanity’s unhappiness. More than any other modern writer in world literature, Kafka captures the loneliness and misery that fill the lives of 20th-century humanity. The Metamorphosis and Other Stories reveals the author’s extraordinary talent in a variety of forms—prose poems, short stories, sketches, allegories, and novelettes—and showcases the straight–faced humor, startling psychological insight, and haunting imagination for which he is revered as a modern master. In this brilliant new translation, prize–winning translator Joachim Neugroschel preserves the delicate balance, rich timbre, and wondrous language of Kafka’s original works. In addition to "The Metamorphosis", this collection includes "Early Stories", "Contemplation", "The Judgement", "The Stoker", "In the Penal Colony", and "A Country Doctor".

"Excellent Translation, Excellent Narration!"
Would you listen to The Metamorphosis and Other Stories again? Why?Of course! I return to this book again and again when other fiction is not satisfying. Kafka has such a unique voice and such a masterful ability to entrance the reader. Joachim Neugroschel's translation captures Kafka's dark humor (and ability to maintain the fictional dream) much better than the Muir's translations did.
Any additional comments?"A Country Doctor" and "In the Penal Colony" are the best

"kafka"
What did you love best about The Metamorphosis and Other Stories?The reader was excellent. We really enjoyed the pre- lecture regarding the language and nationalism and judism. We recommend both the reader and the book. We also had never read or listened to the short stories, which were a bonus.
Who was your favorite character and why?gregor - he fought to maintain his human-ness.
Have you listened to any of George Guidall’s other performances before? How does this one compare?Yes, oh yes. We pick books that are unknown and read by him based solely on his narration. He was excellent reading Kafka.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?No.
