Product Description
From the Publisher
The three volumes Twisted Spoon has published Contemplation, A Country Doctor, and A Hunger Artist represent the collections of stories that Kafka had published during his lifetime. Though each volume has its own distinctive character, they have most often appeared in English in collected editions. They are presented here as separate editions, in new translations, each with its own illustrator from the Prague community.

Kafka is a dream
Mar 20 2000
Format:Hardcover
If you have read Kafka you won't need my advice. But if you haven't, I recommend you to buy this book, "A Hunger Artist" is an incredibly impressive short story. It plays with reality and imagination and at the end it all seems like a dream. Also take a look at Kafka's diaries.

Great short story.
April 20 2009
This is a great story by Kafka, but probably only about 20 pages long, if that. I just didn't want buyers to be disappointed. There needs to be a good collection of Kafka short fiction for Kindle. The Penal Colony, Report to an Academy, Country Doctor, etc.

Format:Paperback
This is a short story that stays with you. It has a sadness about it that is haunting. It says so much with so few words. Worth reading at least once.
Listmania!
