Synopsis

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Sixteen short stories by Franz Kafka, complete and unabridged. In the Penal Colony brings a visiting traveller before an officer who is proud of the machine that carves each prisoner's sentence into his body. The Judgment sets a young merchant against his aged father. In the title story, a country doctor called out on a winter night finds a house where nothing is as it seems.

A Report for an Academy lets an ape explain how he became a man. Before the Law, An Imperial Message, Jackals and Arabs, A Visit to the Mine and A Dream are among the shortest and strangest pieces Kafka published, each one a small fable that refuses to explain itself.

Most of these stories first appeared in Kafka's own lifetime, in the collections he saw through to print, and they remain the best place to meet his writing: dry, exact and unsettling. This new translation reads every story in full.

About Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka (1883–1924) was one of the major fiction writers of the twentieth century. His unique body of writing-much of which is incomplete and which was mainly published posthumously-is considered to be among the most influential in Western literature. Among his most well known stories are "The Metamorphosis" and "In the Penal Colony," and his novels include The Trial and The Castle.
