### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice selection of stories
*by S***Z on December 10, 2025*

I was hoping this had a couple other stories in it that I’d read before, but it doesn’t. Aside from that, it’s a good collection!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read these to find out the meaning of Kafkaesque.
*by T***S on January 25, 2026*

An excellent collection of stories about humanity from a point of view that must be added to any that you already have acquired in your life. How does one reconcile the contradictions we encounter everyday? Kafka doesn’t answer that question, but after reading his work you will not be able to ignore the presence of the contradictions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Table Of Contents!
*by E***R on August 28, 2011*

Hello All, I recently purchased this book in faith, though I was also frustrated by the lack of information in the book description. So, I will provide here for you the table of contents so that whoever purchases this book from now on can know exactly what they are getting: (By the way, the book is beautifully new & well designed, with the edges of the pages torn, not cut.) When it says the complete stories, it means it. The foreword assures that the book contains "all of the fiction that Kafka committed to publication during his lifetime." That meas his novels, which he did NOT intend to be published but left note in his will to be destroyed, are NOT included: The Trial, America, The Castle. I have put his more famous stories in caps. Table Of Contents: THE LONGER STORIES: Before The Law, An Imperial Message Description Of A Struggle, Wedding Preparations In The Country, The Judgment, THE METAMORPHOSIS, In The Penal Colony, The Village Schoolmaster, Blumfeld An Elderly Bachelor, The Warden Of The Tomb, A Country Doctor, The Hunter Gracchus, The Hunter Gracchus A Fragment, THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA, The News Of The Building Of The Wall A Fragment, A Report To An Academy, A Report To An Academy Two Fragments, The Refusal, A Hunger Artist, INVESTIGATIONS OF A DOG, A Little Woman, THE BURROW, Josephine The Singer Or The Mouse Folk THE SHORTER STORIES: Children On A Country Road, The Trees, Clothes, Excursion Into The Mountains, Rejection, The Street Window, The Tradesman, Absent-minded Window-gazing, The Way Home, Passers-by, On The Tram, Reflections For Gentlemen-Jockeys, The Wish To Be A Red Indian, Unhappiness, Bachelor's Ill Luck, Unmasking A Confidence Trickster, The Sudden Walk, Resolutions, A Dream, Up In The Gallery, A Fratricide, The Next Village, A Visit To A Mine, Jackals And Arabs, The Bridge, The Bucket Rider, The New Advocate, An Old Manuscript, The Knock At The Manor Gate, Eleven Sons, My Neighbor, A Crossbreed A Sport, The Cares Of A Family Man, A Common Confusion, The truth About Sancho Panza, The Silence Of The Sirens, Prometheus, The City Coat Of Arms, Poseidon, Fellowship, At Night, The Problem Of Our Laws, The Conscription Of Troops, The Test, The Vulture, The Helmsman, The Top, A Little Fable, Home-Coming, First Sorrow, The Departure, Advocates, The Married Couple, Give It Up, On Parables Hope this was helpful! I definitely recommend purchasing this book, but not if you were looking for his novels. You should purchase this book, AND his novels. :)
