A unique anthology of Kafka's stories and other short pieces by prize-winning translator Joyce Crick, with invaluable introduction, notes, and other editorial material by Kafka scholar Ritchie Robertson. Brings together Kafka's two published collections of short stories, A Country Doctor: Little Tales and A Hunger Artist: Four Stories together with other texts published during his lifetime and a selection of posthumously published material. The stories are among Kafka's best-known, haunting and compelling satires on the human condition, on art and artists, and on life itself, which complement his major fictions. The only short-story edition to provide a full introduction and explanatory notes, which probe the meanings and accomplishments of these enigmatic works. A Biographical Preface provides an account of Kafka's life against the context of his time. Up-to-date bibliography and chronology of the author.
