The metamorphosis ; The penal colony, and other stories

by Franz Kafka

Ranging from prose, poems, sketches, stories, and allegories to his famous three-act novelette "The Metamorphosis", this collection of classic tales reflects the deadpan humor, psychological acuity, and lyricism that shape Kafka's enduring reputation as one of the great writers of modern times.
