Short Stories
Kafka Short Stories is a brilliant collection of Franz Kafka's influential writing and includes stories like, The Judgement, In the Penal Colony, A Hunger Artist, and so on.

A clutch of shocking, unsettling and complex tales that discuss the universal themes like unease, guilt, alienation, isolation, cruelty, shame, sin, redemption, etc., with generous doses of irony and horror. The characters in his stories are hunted and haunted, often in nightmarish situations, trapped in dehumanizing systems, struggling to find meaning and dignity in an insensitive world.

In spite of their dark themes, there is also subtle humour and a keen insight into the human condition. This is a book of all that is 'Kafkaesque'

Letters to Millena
Letters to Milena is a glimpse into Franz Kafka's most intimate self-his desires, his love and his anxieties.

This passionate correspondence between Kafka and his muse e his Czech translator Milena Jesenská, a gifted and remarkable young lady, makes for interesting reading, and allows a close peek into the great author himself.

The Castle
The Castle by Franz Kafka, published after his death, is an enigmatic tale where among other themes, he explores the relation between power and the individual.

The setting is a remote village, covered in snow almost perennially, dominated by a castle that is inaccessible and occupied by dictatorial, self-serving bureaucrats The story follows a land surveyor, K., through his baffling struggle in contacting his employer, and the consequent encounters in a village whose inhabitants readily submit to an authority that may only exist in their collective imagination

The Metamorphosis
The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, one of his most celebrated works delves into the absurdity and challenges of modern life.

Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect. So begins the tale of a surreal experience in which Gregor struggles to adapt his humanity to the change.

The book deals with alienation, disillusionment and existentialism as well as the feelings of inadequacy, isolation and guilt.

Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka was born in 1883 in Prague, where he lived most of his life. During his lifetime, he published only a few short stories, including “The Metamorphosis,” “The Judgment,” and “The Stoker.” He died in 1924, before completing any of his full-length novels. At the end of his life, Kafka asked his lifelong friend and literary executor Max Brod to burn all his unpublished work. Brod overrode those wishes.

-------

Franz Kafka (Praga, Imperio austrohúngaro, 3 de julio de 1883 - Kierling, Austria, 3 de junio de 1924) fue un escritor de origen judío nacido en Bohemia que escribió en alemán. Su obra está considerada una de las más influyentes de la literatura universal y está llena de temas y arquetipos sobre la alienación, la brutalidad física y psicológica, los conflictos entre padres e hijos, personajes en aventuras terroríficas, laberintos de burocracia, y transformaciones místicas.

Fue autor de tres novelas, El proceso (Der Prozeß), El castillo (Das Schloß) y El desaparecido (Amerika o Der Verschollene), la novela corta La metamorfosis (Die Verwandlung) y un 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 --al que influenció-- y el expresionismo. Estudiosos de Kafka discuten sobre cómo interpretar al autor, algunos hablan de la posible influencia de alguna ideología política antiburocrática, de una religiosidad mística o de una reivindicación de su minoría etnocultural, mientras otros se fijan en el contenido psicológico de sus obras. Sus relaciones personales también tuvieron gran impacto en su escritura, particularmente su padre (Carta al padre), su prometida Felice Bauer (Cartas a Felice) y su hermana (Cartas a Ottla).

El término kafkiano se usa en el idioma español para describir situaciones surrealistas como las que se encuentran en sus libros y tiene sus equivalentes en otros idiomas. Solo unas pocas de sus obras fueron publicadas durante su vida. La mayor parte, incluyendo trabajos incompletos, fueron publicados por su amigo Max Brod, quien ignoró los deseos del autor de que los manuscritos fueran destruidos.
