  PARABLES AND PARADOXES

  edited by Nahum N. Glatzer

  In this volume of collected pieces, Kafka re-examines and boldly rewrites some basic mythological tales of Ancient Israel, Hellas, the Far East, and the West, making them creations of his own imagination. A bilingual edition, in German and English.

  THE SONS

  translations revised and updated by Arthur Wensinger,

  with an introduction by Mark Anderson

  Franz Kafka’s three classic stories of filial revolt—“The Metamorphosis,” “The Judgment,” and “The Stoker”—grouped together with his own poignant “Letter to His Father,” take on fresh, compelling meaning.

  “Kafka is the author who comes nearest to bearing the same kind of relationship to our age as Dante, Shakespeare, and Goethe bore to theirs.” —W. H. Auden

  THE TRIAL

  a new translation by Breon Mitchell,

  based on the restored text

  The terrifying story of Joseph K., his arrest and trial, is one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.

  “Mitchell’s translation is an accomplishment of the highest order—one that will honor Kafka far into the twenty-first century.”

  —Walter Abish, author of How German Is It
