Kafka, Franz
Metamorphosis
|
|
New York: Vanguard Press, 1946. First American Edition of Kafka's existential masterpiece.
The author's profound and influential novella, the only writing that he finished and published during his lifetime, besides a few short stories. A careful blend of the absurd and grotesque with mundane reality, which makes the transformation of the main character that much more horrific. Metaphorically based on the author's own battle with insomnia and his increasingly challenged interactions with his family. A work that continues to inspire and amaze modern readers, despite coming up on it's centennial anniversary.
Near Fine in a bright, Near Fine dust jacket. Jacket is exceptionally fresh, with light soil and a small chip to the front panel, a few nicks at the crown, and some offsetting to the white rear panel. [Book #127511]
