One of about 50 copies quarto size 52 pp. Franz Kafka 1883-1924 is considered by many to be one of the twentieth century's pre-eminent authors fusing elements of realism with the fantastic; he is known for his use of an isolated and detached protagonist who is forced to face a bizarre surreal predicament and his works often explore themes of alienation existential anxiety and guilt n. b. info from Wikipedia. "The Metamorphosis" is his best known work beginning with the famous line "When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin"; the story is tragic in its descriptions of a family's struggle with abrupt isolationism and change.<br/><br/>This publication by The Ascensius Press contains the complete text of Kafka's story beautifully printed letterpress and bound in marbled paper over soft boards giving the grisly tale of Gregor Samsa a gentle and inviting appearance.

Translated by Edwin and Willa Muir. With an introduction by Edwin Muir. A superior example scarce in this condition.
