Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was born into a Jewish family in Prague. In 1906 he received a doctorate in jurisprudence, and for many years he worked a tedious job as a civil service lawyer investigating claims at the state Worker's Accident Insurance Institute. He never married, and published only a few slim volumes of stories during his lifetime. Meditation, a collection of sketches, appeared in 1912; The Stoker: A Fragment in 1913; The Metamorphosis in 1915; The Judgement in 1916; In the Penal Colony in 1919; and A Country Doctor in 1920. The great novels were not published until after his death from tuberculosis: America, The Trial, and The Castle.
Kafka's 'legalese' is alchemically fused with a prose of great verve and intense readability. <br>--James Rolleston, professor of Germanic languages and literatures, Duke University <br> Breon Mitchell's translation is an accomplishment of the highest order that will honor Kafka far into the twenty-first century. <br>--Walter Abish, author of How German Is It
