Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka: 1st Amer. Ed. with dust jacket

Kafka is regarded by many in the same stature as Proust and Joyce. Metamorphosis is a perfect example of his use of symbol as a writing technique. It is a story of cosmic implications and the strange incommensurability of a man and his family. This is the first publication of this book in America. A beautiful example in fine condition with a dust jacket in very good condition. Tiny bits of chipping at upper right tip of jacket and some other tiny bits of rubbing and a couple of extremely small chips. Few small slits and cracking at outside jacket folds. Tiny bit of toning at rear jacket edges. 6.25 x 9.
