Description

Franz Kafka’s classic 1915 novella remains one of the most widely read works of fiction in the world. This Norton Critical Edition is based on Susan Bernofsky’s acclaimed new translation, accompanied by the translator’s note and Mark M. Anderson’s preface and explanatory annotations.

Publisher Review

"Bernofsky's vibrant new translation preserves the comedy as well as the tragedy of Kafka's text; it convinces both on its own and when read with the original in mind." -- The Times Literary Supplement
