The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka’s classic 1915 novella remains one of the most widely read works of fiction in the world. This Norton Critical Edition is based on Susan Bernofsky’s acclaimed new translation, accompanied by the translator’s note and Mark M. Anderson’s preface and explanatory annotations.
"Bernofsky’s vibrant new translation preserves the comedy as well as the tragedy of Kafka’s text; it convinces both on its own and when read with the original in mind" -- The Times Literary Supplement
Franz Kafka (1883–1924) was one of the most important writers of the twentieth century. His major novels include The Trial, The Castle, and Amerika. Mark M. Anderson is Professor of Germanic Languages at Columbia University. He is the author of Kafka’s Clothes and the editor of Reading Kafka. He has written widely on literary modernism and has edited and translated contemporary Austrian writers Ingeborg Bachmann and Thomas Bernhard. Susan Bernofsky is the acclaimed translator of Hermann Hesse, Robert Walser, and Jenny Erpenbeck, and the recipient of many awards, including the Helen and Kurt Wolff Prize and the Hermann Hesse Translation Prize. She teaches literary translation at Columbia University and lives in New York.
