Description
A Hunger Artist and Other Stories by Franz Kafka is a collection of four short stories that explore human experience through satire and often bleak humour. These enigmatic tales feature a range of protagonists, including a professional starvation artist, an ape, and a paranoid burrowing creature, as well as more unusual characters such as a singing mouse and a war-horse adopting a quiet profession. Newly translated and featuring an invaluable introduction and notes, Kafka's short stories offer haunting meditations on art and artists. The collection also includes other uncollected stories and posthumously published works that have become part of the Kafka canon, providing a unique insight into his philosophy of life. This edition is part of Oxford World's Classics, a series that has made available a wide range of literature from around the globe for over 100 years.
