Classic fiction (pre c 1945)

Paperback. Franz Kafka has given his name to a world of nightmare, but in Kafka's world, it is never completely clear just what the nightmare is. Kafka deals in dark and quirkily humorous terms with the insoluble dilemmas of a world which offers no reassurance, and no reliable guidance to resolving our existential and emotional uncertainties and anxieties. Translator(s): Williams, John R. Series Editor(s): Carabine, Dr. Keith. Series: Wordsworth Classics. Num Pages: 640 pages. BIC Classification: FC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade).
