› Find signed collectible books: 'Amerika: (The Man Who Disappeared)'Book summary:Newly restored to the original text: for this new translation, Hofmann returned to Kafkas manuscripts, restoring matters of substance and detail, and even the books original ending.
Michael Hofmann's startlingly visceral and immediate translation revives Kafka's great comedy, and captures a new Kafka, free from Prague and loose in the new world, a Kafka shot through with light in this highly charged and enormously nuanced translation. Kafka began the first of his three novels in 1911, but like the others, Amerika remained unfinished, and perhaps, as Klaus Mann suggested, "necessarily endless." Karl Rossman, the youthful hero of the novel, "a poor boy of seventeen," has been banished by his parents to America, following a scandal. There, with unquenchable optimism, he throws himself into adventure after misadventure, and experiences multiply as he makes his way into the heart of the country, to The Great Nature Theater of Oklahoma. In creating this new translation, Hofmann, as he explains in his introduction, returned to the manuscript version of the book, restoring matters of substance and detail. Fragments which have never before been presented in English are now reinstated including the book's original "ending."
The San Francisco Chronicle said Hofmanns sleek translation does a wonderful job and The New York Times concurred: Anything by Kafka is worth reading again, especially in the hands of such a gifted translator as Hofmann. [via]More editions of Amerika: (The Man Who Disappeared):

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Castle'Book summary:They are perhaps the most famous literary instructions never followed: "Dearest Max, my last request: Everything I leave behind me ... in the way of diaries, manuscripts, letters (my own and others'), sketches, and so on, [is] to be burned unread...." Thankfully, Max Brod did not honor his friend Franz Kafka's final wishes. Instead, he did everything within his power to ensure that Kafka's work would find publication--including making some sweeping changes in the original texts. Until recently, the world has known only Brod's version of Kafka, with its altered punctuation, word order, and chapter divisions. Restoring much of what had previously been expunged, as well as the fluid, oral quality of Kafka's original German, Mark Harman's new translation of The Castle is a major literary event.
One of three unfinished novels left after Kafka's death, The Castle is in many ways the writer's most enduring and influential work. In Harman's muscular translation, Kafka's text seems more modern than ever, the words tumbling over one another, the sentences separated only by commas. Harman's version also ends the same way as Kafka's original manuscript--that is, in mid-sentence: "She held out her trembling hand to K. and had him sit down beside her, she spoke with great difficulty, it was difficult to understand her, but what she said--." For anyone used to reading Kafka in his artificially complete form, the effect is extraordinary; it is as if Kafka himself had just stepped from the room, leaving behind him a work whose resolution is the more haunting for being forever out of reach.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Collected Stories'Book summary:(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)
Franz Kafkas imagination so far outstripped the forms and conventions of the literary tradition he inherited that he was forced to turn that tradition inside out in order to tell his splendid, mysterious tales. Scrupulously naturalistic on the surface, uncanny in their depths, these stories represent the achieved art of a modern master who had the gift of making our problematic spiritual life palpable and real.
This edition of his stories includes all his available shorter fiction in a collection edited, arranged, and introduced by Gabriel Josipovici in ways that bring out the writers extraordinary range and intensity of vision.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Die Verwandlung'Book summary:"Als Gregor Samsa eines Morgens aus unruhigen Träumen erwachte, fand er sich in seinem Bett zu einem ungeheueren Ungeziefer verwandelt".
Welch ein Satz! Ich erinnere mich, ihn in den 60er Jahren zum ersten Mal gelesen zu haben. Kafka galt in unserer Clique eine Zeitlang als jemand, den man gelesen haben mußte, um mitreden zu können. Verstanden habe ich damals eigentlich nichts. Oder fast nichts. Nur, daß etwas Ungeheuerliches geschehen war. In diesem Buch und mit mir.Da erwacht also dieser Gregor, ein junger Handlungsreisender, der unter seinem Beruf und der Lieblosigkeit seiner Umwelt leidet, eines Morgens als riesiges Insekt. Zur Arbeit zu gehen, macht in seinem Zustand wenig Sinn. Schon taucht der erboste Prokurist auf und verlangt wütend eine Erklärung für Gregors Fernbleiben. Diese Szene, in der Gregor hinter verschlossener Tür sein Verhalten entschuldigt, seinen Käferkörper zur Tür quält und sich schließlich zu erkennen gibt, ist so haarsträubend kafkaesk, daß spätestens jetzt dieser Begriff jedem einleuchten dürfte. Gregors Familie ist angewidert, läßt den Sohn aber bei sich wohnen, bis schließlich -- nun, Sie werden es erfahren.
Keine Erklärung, nur dieser Hilfeschrei! Solche Radikalität war neu in der Literatur. Deutungen gab es viele. Gregor, wie Kafka, ein schwacher Mensch, der Tag für Tag mitansehen muß, wie diese Welt mit Schwachen umgeht, droht daran zugrundezugehen und vollzieht Die Verwandlung. Das ist seine "Rettung".
Im Jahre 1912 geschrieben, wurde Die Verwandlung noch zu Kafkas Lebzeiten veröffentlicht. Ein literarisches Jahrhundertereignis. Wie nachhaltig die Wirkung noch heute ist, läßt sich am Werk solcher Regiegrößen wie David Lynch und Polanski, um nur einige zu nennen, ablesen. --Ravi Unger [via]

They provide a penetrating look into life in Prague and into Kafkas accounts of his dreams, his feelings for the father he worshipped and the woman he could not bring himself to marry, his sense of guilt, and his feelings of being an outcast. They offer an account of a life of almost unbearable intensity.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Franz Kafka's the Metamorphosis'Book summary:Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis climaxes in the very first line--the protagonist has indeed been transformed. The critical questions lie in the interpretation of the transformation. Kafka has been said to have offered everything from a psychological parable of Oedipal struggle to a caricature of psychological readings.
The title, Franz Kafkas The Metamorphosis, part of Chelsea House Publishers Modern Critical Interpretations series, presents the most important 20th-century criticism on Franz Kafkas The Metamorphosis through extracts of critical essays by well-known literary critics. This collection of criticism also features a short biography on Franz Kafka, a chronology of the authors life, and an introductory essay written by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University.

A companion volume to The Great Wall of China and Other Short Works, these new translations bring together the small proportion of Kafka's works that he thought worthy of publication. This volume contains his most famous story. The Transformation, more popularly known as Metamorphosis. Other works include Meditation, a collection of his earlier studies; The Judgement, written in a single night of frenzied creativity; The Stoker, the first chapter of a novel set in America; and A Fasting Artist, a collection of stories written towards the end of Kafka's life. There is also a fascinating occasional piece, The Aeroplanes at Brescia, Kafka's eye-witness account of an air display in 1909. Taken together, these stories reveal the breadth of Kafka's literary vision and the extraordinary imaginative depth of his thought.More editions of The Transformation and Other Stories:

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Trial'Book summary:The story of The Trial's publication is almost as fascinating as the novel itself. Kafka intended his parable of alienation in a mysterious bureaucracy to be burned, along with the rest of his diaries and manuscripts, after his death in 1924. Yet his friend Max Brod pressed forward to prepare The Trial and the rest of his papers for publication. When the Nazis came to power, publication of Jewish writers such as Kafka was forbidden; Kafka's writings, many of which have distinctively Jewish themes, did not find a broad audience until after World War II. (Hannah Arendt once observed that although "during his lifetime he could not make a decent living, [Kafka] will now keep generations of intellectuals both gainfully employed and well-fed.") Among the current crop of Kafka heirs is Breon Mitchell, the translator of this edition of The Trial. Rather than tidying up Kafka's unconventional grammar and punctuation (as previous translators have done), Mitchell captures the loose, uneasy, even uncomfortable constructions of Kafka's original story. His translation technique is the only way to convey the comedy and confusion of this narrative, in which Josef K., "without having done anything truly wrong," is arrested, tried, convicted and executed--on a charge that is never disclosed to him. --Michael Joseph Gross [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'El Desaparecido'Book summary:El desaparecido es la primera y menos conocida de las tres novelas -todas inacabadas- que Kafka emprendio en el transcurso de su vida. Escrita en su mayor parte entre finales de 1912 y comienzos de 1913, fue publicada postumamente por Max Brod bajo el titulo de America, sugerido sin duda por el hecho de que la novela entera transcurre en Est ados Unidos. Kafka, sin embargo, dejo claro su proposito de titularla El desaparecido, indicativo de la condicion que determina la atribulada andadura de su protagonista, el joven Karl Rossman, que desde su llegada a Nueva York, expulsado del seno de su familia, se encuentra ya perdido, «desaparecido», no identificable para los demas ni para si mismo. El propio Kafka declaraba a Max Brod que esta peculiar novela de formacion, escrita bajo el ascendente indisimulado de Charles Dickens, era mas esperanzadora y «luminosa» que todo cuanto habia escrito.

› Find signed collectible books: 'La metamorfosis y otros relatos / Metamorphosis and Other Stories'Book summary:Franz Kafka es, sin duda, uno de los escritores clasicos de la literatura moderna. Su relacion con la literatura transcurrio en un triple aislamiento: el geografico, por la ciudad en la que vivio; el de la lengua, la alemana, estancada en Praga; y el de la marginacion por su condicion de judio. La dificil relacion con su padre marco, ademas, toda su vida. La presente seleccion de relatos coincide con el grupo que el mismo autor juzgo dignos de ser publicados. [via]
