From late 1917 until June 1919, Franz Kafka ceased to keep a diary, for which he had used quarto-size notebooks, instead writing in a series of smaller, octavo-size notebooks. When Kafka's literary executor, Max Brod, published the diaries in 1948, he omitted these notebooks--which include short stories, fragments of stories and other literary writings--because, he wrote, -notations of a diary nature, dates, are found in them only as a rare exception.- The Blue Octavo Notebooks have thus remained little known and yet are among the most characteristic and brilliantly gnomic of Kafka's...

Franz Kafka is one of the most important figures in twentieth-century culture.

This new edition of Kafka's famous story contains a critical introduction and notes which help to explain how the author achieves his particular effects. The editors are concerned less with what the story means then with how it blocks and baffles its reader, provoking them into an interpretation through its combination of clues and...

This letter is the closest that Kafka came to setting down his autobiography. He was driven to write it by his father's opposition to his engagement with Julie Wohryzek. The marriage did not take place; the letter was not delivered.

La metamorfosis (Die Verwandlung, en su titulo original en aleman) es un relato de Franz Kafka, que narra la historia de Gregorio Samsa, un comerciante de telas que vive con su familia a la que el mantiene con su sueldo, que un buen dia amanece convertido en una criatura no identificada claramente en ningun momento, pero que tiende a ser reconocida como una especie de cucaracha gigante. Breve e intensa, es calificada a veces como "relato existencialista.""

The Metamorphosis, first published in 1915, is the most famous of Kafka's works, along with The Trial and The Castle.

As with all of Kafka's works, The Metamorphosis is open to a wide range of interpretations. Most obvious are themes relating to society's treatment of those who are different, the loneliness of isolation, and the absurdity of the human condition. Newly...
