This edition includes, in chronological order, the collections of short stories that Franz Kafka published during his lifetime, as well as the prose pieces that were presented after his death by his close friend, Max Brod, who, refusing to obey the author's last wish to destroy all his works, saved most of his manuscripts.
The Czech writer designs a literary world that connects power with logic and prejudice with social norms. A world that is blatantly authoritarian and irrational, even though Kafka ended up shaping it by following the path of logic. Through his stories, Kafka describes and interprets social phenomena and takes a stance on the synchronous developments of the real world.
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was one of the most important writers of the 20th century. A prophet of the forthcoming and a seer of the invisible, he speaks in metaphors about the essence of beings and things, as descriptions of the material that constitutes the subconscious of the subject.
