La carta más famosa del siglo xx jamás llegó a su destinatario. Ni siquiera fue enviada. La escribió Franz Kafka de un tirón entre el 4 y el 20 de noviembre de 1919, y está dirigida a su padre, Hermann Kafka, comerciante judío en la ciudad de Praga. Escrita en un estilo que su propio autor calificó «de abogado», la carta es un memorial de las relaciones que había mantenido con su padre desde su nacimiento.

Benedict Cumberbatch reads the enduring classic of Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis. Gregor Samsa wakes to discover that he has turned into a large, monstrous insect-like creature. He attempts to adjust to his new condition as he deals with being burdensome to his parents and sister, who are repelled by the horrible creature he has become.

La transformación, o metamorfosis, de Gregor Samsa en un bicho monstruoso, similar a un enorme escarabajo, es uno de los hitos de la literatura universal.

En noviembre de ese mismo año, el título se imprimió como libro independiente bajo el sello de la editorial Kurt Wolff, con fecha anticipada de 1916.

On his deathbed, Franz Kafka asked that all his unpublished manuscripts be burned. Fortunately, his request was ignored, allowing such works as The Trial to earn recognition among the literary masterpieces of the 20th century. This brilliant new translation of The Castle captures comedic elements and visual imagery that earlier interpretations missed.

The Trial tells the story of a man arrested for an unknown crime by a remote, inaccessible authority and his struggle for control over the increasing absurdity of his life. One of Franz Kafka's best-known works, The Trial has been variously interpreted as an examination of political power, a satirical depiction of bureaucracy, and a pessimistic religious parable. Left unfinished at the time of Kafka's 1924 death, The Trial is nevertheless a trenchant depiction of the seemingly incomprehensible nature of existence....

If Max Brod had obeyed Franz Kafka's dying request, Kafka's unpublished manuscripts would have been burned, unread.

In the bizarre world of Franz Kafka, salesmen turn into giant bugs, apes give lectures at college academies, and nightmares probe the mysteries of modern humanity’s unhappiness.

Ce matin-là, lorsque Gregor Samsa veut se lever pour aller travailler, quelque chose l'en empêche. C'est en réalité son propre corps qui s'est métamorphosé en insecte pendant la nuit. Désormais, il n'inspire que le dégoût, et n'a plus aucune autonomie. Personne ne croit à sa capacité à ressentir des émotions malgré son aspect monstrueux. La métamorphose s'opère également dans le comportement de ceux qu'il aime et qui ne veulent plus de lui, dans son rapport à l'espace, à lui-même et à l'existence.

Selección de algunos de los mejores relatos del autor de La metamorfosis. La magnitud y enorme repercusión de la obra de Kafka (1883-1924) contrastan con la vida sencilla y discreta del autor. Nacido en Praga en una familia judía de clase media, Kafka compaginó toda su vida el trabajo en una compañía de seguros austríaca con su pasión por la literatura. Su entrega a la escritura fue total y muchas noches las pasó Kafka en vilo afanándose por acabar alguna de sus obras.

La metamorfosis o La transformación (Die Verwandlung, en su título original en alemán) es una novela corta escrita por Franz Kafka en 1915. La historia trata sobre Gregorio Samsa, cuya repentina transformación en un enorme insecto dificulta cada vez más la comunicación de su entorno social con él.

Gregor Samsa si risveglia una mattina trasformato ''in un enorme insetto mostruoso''. Ciò che viene dopo è la cronaca, a tratti asciutta, a tratti tragicomica, di un essere umano che via via deve adattarsi alla sua nuova condizione di ''bestia'' disprezzata da tutti, anche dai familiari stessi, senza possibilità di scampo. Al di là del resoconto, brillante e dettagliato, dell'avventura bizzarra toccata in sorte a un giovane e stimato agente di commercio, è chiara e limpida la metafora della diversità e dell'alienazione: talvolta ci si ritrova a diventare estranei e irriconoscibili agli occhi degli altri.

Un capolavoro letterario senza tempo, in cui l'autore mescola il reale con l'assurdo, l'insensibilità con la compassione...

The story of an ape who copied men so as to escape from his cage and be shown off in circuses as well as addressing crowds, with the remarkable insights of Kafka.

A singer is popular with the German people but not particularly good at singing. Kafka uses the story to illustrate Germanic beliefs, tight fistedness, strong work effort, and battles with neighbors. Remarkable insights as always from Kafka.
