Taylor Professor of German at the University of Oxford, Ritchie Robertson introduces two new translations of Franz Kafka’s work.  A translation by Joyce Crick combines two collections, A Country Doctor and A Hunger Artist, with other uncollected stories, aphorisms and parables. The translation comes with an introduction and notes by Robertson, author of Kafka, A Very Short Introduction. Robertson has also completed a new translation of Kafka’s first novel, The Man Who Disappeared (America), which follows the adventures of young immigrant Karl Rossman in America.
