Links to Some Kafka Texts


Here are the collected texts that I've got so far. I've tried to include some of the less well-known works here. Thanks to all those out there who have helped me out with this section. Please e-mail me if you feel like typing up any others or know of any links to any other texts.


A Kafka For the 21st Century, from the Schocken Books Web Site, presents an interesting summation of Kafka's publishing history with Schocken.

A Hunger Artist (thanks to Patrick Bateman)

Before the Law and An Imperial Message

A Crossbreed [A Sport] and The Cares of a Family Man

Excerpts from The Blue Octavo Notebooks, which is one of my favorites.

Here are a couple of other shorts, in English and German: "On Parables," "The Savages," and "The Vulture"

Blumfeld, An Elderly Bachelor.

This one isn't by Kafka, but it's very relevant to anyone studying him: "Waiting," by Roland Barthes.

A Common Confusion

 The Metamorphosis, provided by Brian Herzog (Thanks!)

An extensive collection of the Parables and Paradoxes at the Reverend Patty Morin's Kafka site.
