This was his daily ritual before settling in for the evening - and often far into the night - to what he considered his true life a life dedicated to writing. Then whether acting on a long-meditated plan or following an obscure sudden intuition he set down the words of the first hammerlike sentence of what would become his most famous story and one of the defining works of modern imaginative fiction The Metamorphosis or more simply 'The Transformation': 'When Gregor Samsa woke one morning from troubled dreams he found himself transformed right there in his bed into some sort of monstrous insect.'

‎Der Prozess The Trial.‎

‎Berlin: Verlag Die Schmiede 1925. True first edition of Kafka's classic work. Octavo bound in full morocco gilt titles and tooling to the spine raised bands gilt tooling to the front and rear panels marbled endpapers all edges gilt. In fine condition. First editions are rare. Kafka's Der Prozess The Trial according to Albert Camus takes us "to the limits of human thought. Indeed everything in this work is in the true sense essential. It states the problem of the absurd in its entirety." Published posthumously in German in 1925 by Kafka's friend and executor Max Brod the book "has passed into far more than classical literary status. In more than one hundred languages the epithet 'kafkaesque' attaches to the central images to the constants of inhumanity and absurdity in our times. In this diffusion of the kafkaesque into so many recesses of our private and public existence The Trial plays a commanding role" George Steiner. In 1999 it was listed in Le Monde's 100 Books of the Century and as number two of the Best German Novels of the Twentieth Century. Verlag Die Schmiede hardcover books‎

‎Die Verwandlung‎

‎Leipzig: Kurt Wolff Verlag 1916 First edition. Publisher’s gray wrappers with 3 leaves of advertisements at rear in original pictorial dust jacket. Book with slight lean to spine interior clean; jacket folds lightly rubbed very light wear to spine ends with title and author inked on spine by previous owner. The Metamorphosis was first published serially in German under the title Die Verwandlung in the avant-garde journal Die weissen Blätter in October 1915 and in book format by Kurt Wolff Verlag in December of the same year. It tells the story of the anti-hero Gregor Samsa an overworked travelling salesman who awakens to find himself transformed into an ungeheueres Ungeziefer or as Lloyd translates "some monstrous kind of vermin;" Kafka's deliberately vague description of Samsa's new insect-like body which in the original German is emphasized as being dirty and bottom-feeding makes a direct translation into English extremely difficult but is generally accepted to be a cockroach. As Gregor realizes his own transformation the cause of which is never explained his family's opinion of him similarly transforms as they are both frustrated by his inability to continue to support them financially and disgusted by his new physical appearance. The Metamorphosis is widely considered one of the most influential works of the 20th century. First Edition. Original Wraps. Near Fine. Leipzig: Kurt Wolff Verlag paperback books‎

‎Die Verwandlung The Metamorphosis; In: Die Weissen Blätter‎

‎Leipzig: Der Weissen Bücher 1915. First edition. Original wrappers. Very Good. FIRST APPEARANCE OF A MASTERPIECE OF WESTERN LITERATURE PRECEDING THE FIRST BOOK EDITION. "Kafka read the first section of his 'bug piece' Wanzensache aloud to friends on November 24 1912 and again on December 15. People started talking about it and Kafka received a query from publisher Kurt Wolff in March 1913 on the recommendation of Kafka's friend Franz Werfel. Franz Blei the literary editor of the new avant-garde journal Die weissen Blätter expressed interest and Robert Musil wrote as well soliciting the novella for the more established Die neue Rundschau. But months passed before Kafka had a clean manuscript ready for submission and then World War I intervened causing further delays. In the spring of 1915 René Schickele took over as editor-in-chief of Die weissen Blätter and with Max Brod's help Kafka placed the story there. It came out in October 1915 and then appeared in December 1915 though dated 1916 as a slender volume published by Kurt Wolff Verlag in Leipzig" Susan Bernofsky The New Yorker.

‎Ein Hungerkünstler A Hunger Artist‎

‎Berlin and Leipzig: S. Fischer Verlag 1922. First edition. Original wrappers. Very Good. FIRST PRINTING IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS. "One of the most highly regarded literary and cultural journals in the German language Die neue Rundschau which is still published today first appeared in 1890. In Kafka's time it was the major periodical publication of one of the leading German literary presses. it published literary works by some of the most significant authors of the time including Herman Hesse Thomas Mann Rainer Maria Rilke. Kafka was a regular reader of Die neue Rundschau throughout his life." After Kafka's submission of "Die Verwandlung" "The Metamorphosis" was rejected due to its inordinate length "Kafka was disappointed not to be able to count himself among the authors represented by this respected journal. However he did eventually join their ranks in October 1922 when the story "Ein Hungerkünstler" "A Hunger Artist" appeared here." Kafka "indirectly lifted this piece to significant stature in his oeuvre by exempting it from the wish of annihilation that he had decreed for most of his other works. In addition he chose it as the title story for the last volume of stories that he was able to oversee" Richard T. Gray A Franz Kafka Encyclopedia. IN: Die Neue Rundschau Vol. XXXIII Band 2 pp. 983-992. Berlin and Leipzig: S. Fischer Verlag October 1922 pp. 961-1056. Tall octavo original wrappers; custom silk box.
