Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“One of the seminal writers of the twentieth century…You don’t know what’s going to happen and you can’t put it down.” —Jewish Book World
“In The Metamorphosis Kafka reached the height of his mastery: he wrote something which he could never surpass, because there is nothing which The Metamorphosis could be surpassed by—one of the few great, perfect poetic works of this century.” —Elias Canetti, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1981
“You will mark Kafka’s style. Its clarity, its precise and formal intonation in such striking contrast to the nightmare matter of his tale. No poetical metaphors ornament his stark black-and-white story. The limpidity of his style stresses the dark richness of his fantasy. Contrast and unity, style and matter, manner and plot are most perfectly integrated.” —Vladimir Nabokov
