A sublimely eerie manga adaptation of classic Kafka stories, with a starkly beautiful illustration style – part of Pushkin’s second series of Japanese novellas

Nine of Franz Kafka’s most memorable tales are here given fresh life with dazzling graphic renderings by the brother-and sister manga creators Nishioka Kyodai . With their distinctive, surreal style of illustration, they have reimagined the fantastic, the imperceptible and the bizarre in Kafka’s work, creating a hauntingly powerful visual world.

These stories of enigmatic figures and uncanny transformations are stripped to their core, offering profound new understandings.

Includes The Metamorphosis, A Hunger Artist, In the Penal Colony, A Country Doctor and more.
