Metamorphosis and Other Stories

Franz Kafka — Penguin Modern Classics, 1963 Printing

This volume gathers Kafka's most essential short fiction, led by Metamorphosis — the story of a man who wakes to find himself transformed into a giant insect, and his family's descent from horror through pity to indifference. Also included are The Great Wall of China, Investigations of a Dog, The Burrow, In the Penal Settlement, and The Giant Mole, in the classic Willa and Edwin Muir translations. A striking example of the early Penguin Modern Classics design, with its stark black cover and pen-and-ink illustration.
