(P/B) THE COMPLETE SHORT STORIES

Παρουσίαση

This volume contains all of Kafka's shorter fiction, from fragments, parables and sketches to longer tales. Together they reveal the breadth of Kafka's literary vision and the extraordinary imaginative depth of his thought. Some are well-known, others are mere jottings; observations of daily life given artistic form through Kafka's unique perception of the world. (from the publisher)
