One of Kafka's popular books is The Metamorphosis. It's one of those rare books that will suck you in the right from the first page into a world so dark, so distorted and yet so real allowing your mind to learn the art of imagination.
Franz Kafka, c. 1910. Sought out by leading avant-garde publishers, Kafka reluctantly published a few of his writings during his lifetime. These publications include two sections (1909) from Beschreibung eines Kampfes (1936; Description of a Struggle) and Betrachtung (1913; Meditation ), a collection of short prose pieces.
One of Kafka's most bewildering but also one of his most provocative works, The Castle was his final novel, begun in 1922 although not published until 1926, two years after his death. 5. Amerika.
