书籍简介

这本新译本集汇集了卡夫卡认为值得出版的一小部分作品。其中包括他最著名的作品《变形记》(Metamorphosis)，这是对可怕的变形和异化的探索;《冥想》是他早期研究的集子;在一个疯狂的创作之夜写下的评语;《斯托克》是一本以美国为背景的小说的第一章，还有一篇精彩的偶发作品《布雷西亚的飞机》，卡夫卡亲眼目睹了1909年的一次飞行表演。这些故事共同揭示了卡夫卡文学视野的广度和他非凡的想象深度的思想。

This collection of new translations brings together the small proportion of Kafka’s works that he thought worthy of publication. It includes Metamorphosis, his most famous work, an exploration of horrific transformation and alienation; Meditation, a collection of his earlier studies; The Judgement, written in a single night of frenzied creativity; The Stoker, the first chapter of a novel set in America and a fascinating occasional piece, The Aeroplanes at Brescia, Kafka’s eyewitness account of an air display in 1909. Together, these stories reveal the breadth of Kafka’s literary vision and the extraordinary imaginative depth of his thought.
