內容簡介

This collection brings together the stories that Kafka allowed to be published during his lifetime. To Max Brod， his literary executor， he wrote： “Of all my writings the only books that can stand are these.”

作者簡介

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 At the end of his life, Kafka asked his lifelong friend and literary executor Max Brod to burn all his unpublished work.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.

精彩書評

“Kafka’s survey of the insectile situation of young Jews in inner Bohemia can hardly be improved upon： ‘With their posterior legs they were still glued to their father’s Jewishness and with their wavering anterior legs they found no new ground.’ There is a sense in which Kafka’s Jewish question (‘What have I in common with Jews?’) has become everybody’s question， Jewish alienation the template for all our doubts. What is Muslimness? What is femaleness? What is Polishness? These days we all find our anterior legs flailing before us. We’re all insects， all Ungeziefer， now.”
—Zadie Smith

“Kafka engaged in no technical experiments whatsoever; without in any way changing the German language， he stripped it of its involved constructions until it became clear and simple， like everyday speech purified of slang and negligence. The common experience of Kafka’s readers is one of general and vague fascination， even in stories they fail to understand， a precise recollection of strange and seemingly absurd images and descriptions—until one day the hidden meaning reveals itself to them with the sudden evidence of a truth simple and incontestable.”
—Hannah Arendt?

已經不知道第幾次在京東買到有摺損的書籍瞭，奈何價格跟打起摺來京東確實實惠，書目也廣泛。每次在自營店買書都不得不抱著抽奬的心態，大約兩三成的書都有過摺損或封裝問題。

京東正版書，送貨飛快，值得購買

毛邊本收藏必備，最喜這套卡夫卡。

不錯的版本，字跡清晰，可以收藏

卡夫卡的中篇小說，非常推薦

卡夫卡名著。非常好。書的裝訂有些簡陋。估計容易壞。jd發的貨還不錯。比較乾淨。

書頂部和底部有些脫膠，同時與作者的其它兩部同社小說不同，此書並非毛邊版，封膠也有點問題但應該是正版。

卡夫卡英文版，紙質不過不失吧。

非常好呀！以前價格比較不錯，現在買不到瞭，這傢店最便宜瞭。很好
