The rest of the edition was sold again with the mention of the second edition.</p><p>With the famous illustration by Ottomar Starke on the front wrapper. Kafka was adamant that the illustration not depict a bug writing in a letter to the publishing house: "The insect itself must not be illustrated by a drawing. It cannot be shown at all not even from a distance."</p><p>One of the most famous books of the literature of the 20th century.</p><p>"On the evening of November 17 1912 a young employee of the Workmen's Accident Insurance Agency in Prague sat down to work on a 'troubling little story' that had occurred to him 'in bed' the previous night. After spending the first part of the day in the office he returned to the apartment he shared with his parents and sisters had lunch napped took a walk and then did a series of strengthening and stretching calisthenics. This was his daily ritual before settling in for the evening - and often far into the night - to what he considered his true life a life dedicated to writing. Then whether acting on a long-meditated plan or following an obscure sudden intuition he set down the words of the first hammerlike sentence of what would become his most famous story and one of the defining works of modern imaginative fiction The Metamorphosis or more simply 'The Transformation': 'When Gregor Samsa woke one morning from troubled dreams he found himself transformed right there in his bed into some sort of monstrous insect.' Ever since readers have been mesmerized amused puzzled irritated and unsettled by Gregor's life-changing transformation" Mark M. Anderson ed. The Metamorphosis.</p><p><b>A beautiful copy preserved in its original wrappers as issued.</b></p> Kurt Wolff Verlag paperback

1915175616Leipzig: Kurt Wolff Verlag 1915. The insect itself must not be illustrated by a drawing. It cannot be shown at all not even from a distance First edition first printing first issue a superbly well-preserved copy of the case-bound issue complete with the original dust jacket which rarely survives. The first of Kafka's masterpieces Metamorphosis narrates the tale of a man who wakes up to find himself transformed into an "ungeheuren Ungeziefer" usually translated as a "monstrous insect". The Expressionist jacket illustration by Ottomar Starke 1886-1962 does not represent the insect; after learning that Starke would illustrate the dust jacket Kafka wrote to the publisher: "The insect itself must not be illustrated by a drawing. It cannot be shown at all not even from a distance" 25 October 1915. The novel met with unimpressive sales on publication and after a year or so the numerous unsold copies were stamped on the title pages with the official stamp of the German censors. This copy is a first issue without the censor stamp. It is one of two variant states with the spine and front cover lettered in serif type no established priority. There was also an issue in wrappers which repeats Starke's jacket illustration published simultaneously. Octavo. Original quarter japon spine and front lettered in black blue laid paper boards top edge blue. With dust jacket illustrated by Ottomar Stark. Housed in a black quarter morocco solander box by the Chelsea bindery. Boards slightly bowing minimal rubbing to extremities a couple of minute marginal tears to first few leaves; jacket just lightly toned tiny marks and nicks to top edge flaps without price as issued: notwithstanding a fine copy in like dust jacket. hardcover
1915140947640Leipzig: Kurt Wolff Verlag 1915. First edition. Very Good/Very Good. First edition first printing. 73 1 5 ads 1 pp. The preferred issue bound in publisher's red wrappers with beige printed dust jacket illustrated by the German Expressionist Ottomar Starke. Very Good with lean to binding small tear at crown and creasing to spine and edges. Light toning and slight discoloration to cover label removed with residue on front red wrapper. Foxing to textblock edges and margins of contents light toning throughout with small closed tear to inner margin of p. 10 not affecting text. <p>One of the only books published in Kafka's short lifetime an initial flop that scarcely sold more than 400 out of 800 copies on first printing. "This 'exceptionally repulsive story' is the most sustained work of fiction published during Kafka's lifetime and the one with which his name is most profoundly associated in the common conscious. In his critical hierarchy of the great prose works of the Twentieth Century Vladimir Nabokov rates Die Verwandlung second behind only James Joyce's Ulysses a work that is twenty or more times its length."
