Description
Franz Kafka’s 1915 novella of nightmarish transformation became a worldwide classic and remains a century later one of the most widely read works of fiction in the world. This new and acclaimed translation is accompanied by possible inspirations and critical analysis of Gregor Samsa’s strange story. Distinguishes itself from previous translations in its first sentence. Susan Bernofsky’s new, exacting translation shows just how ingenious the structure of [ ] is, and just how difficult it is to render Kafka’s German into English. She succeeds brilliantly, however, with a vivid fidelity to Kafka’s vision, driving home the way he makes us at once sympathetic to his anti-hero, Gregor Samsa, and repulsed by him.” Vibrant . . . preserves the comedy as well as the tragedy of Kafka’s text. This is the transforming text for you.
