giant cockroach. Metamorphosis Kafka's masterpiece of unease and black humour is one of the
twentieth century's most influential works of fiction and is accompanied here by two more
classic stories. 'He is the greatest German writer of our time. Such poets as Rilke or such
novelists as Thomas Mann are dwarfs or plaster saints in comparison to him' - Vladimir Nabokov
