His nightmarish novels and short stories have come to symbolize modern manâ€™s anxiety and alienation in a bizarre, hostile, and dehumanized world. This vision is most fully realized in Kafkaâ€™s masterpiece, â€œ&&LI&&RThe Metamorphosis&&L/I&&R,â€ a story that is both harrowing and amusing, and a landmark of modern literature. &&LP&&RBringing together some of Kafkaâ€™s finest work, this collection demonstrates the richness and variety of the authorâ€™s artistry. â€œ&&LI&&RThe Judgment&&L/I&&R,â€ which Kafka considered to be his decisive breakthrough, and â€œ&&LI&&RThe Stoker&&L/I&&R,â€ which became the first chapter of his novel &&LI&&RAmerika&&L/I&&R, are here included. These two, along with â€œ&&LI&&RThe Metamorphosis&&L/I&&R,â€ form a suite of stories Kafka referred to as â€œThe Sons,â€ and they collectively present a devastating portrait of the modern family. &&L/P&&R&&LP&&RAlso included are â€œ&&LI&&RIn the Penal Colony&&L/I&&R,â€ a story of a torture machine and its operators and victims, and â€œ&&LI&&RA Hunger Artist&&L/I&&R,â€ about the absurdity of an artist trying to communicate with a misunderstanding public. Kafkaâ€™s lucid, succinct writing chronicles the labyrinthine complexities, the futility-laden horror, and the stifling oppressiveness that permeate his vision of modern life. &&L/P&&R&&LP style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&&R&&LSTRONG&&RJason Baker&&L/B&&R&&L/B&&R is a writer of short stories living in Brooklyn, New York.&&L/P&&R&&L/DIV&&R
