'The Stoker, ' 'The Metamorphosis, ' and 'The Judgment' belong together, both inwardly and outwardly. There is an obvious connection among the three, and, even more important, a secret one, for which reason I would be reluctant to forego the chance of having them published together in a book, which might be called \u003ci\u003eThe Sons\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFRANZ KAFKA was born in 1883 in Prague, where he lived most of his life. During his lifetime, he published only a few short stories, including \"The Metamorphosis,\" \"The Judgment,\" and \"The Stoker.\" He died in 1924, before completing any of his full-length novels. At the end of his life, Kafka asked his lifelong friend and literary executor Max Brod to burn all his unpublished work. Brod overrode those wishes.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Schocken Books Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50523778908434,"sku":"9780805208863","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_a1522e93-40a2-4cd0-8549-08fa17d9bcf0.jpg?v=1731167995","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-sons-9780805208863","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
