Kafka

A Manga Adaptation

About the Book

Two cult-favorite Japanese artists present eerie graphic adaptations of 9 classic Kafka short stories, with hypnotic illustrations that will appeal to fans of Junji Ito

Franz Kafka’s work is given vivid new life in this collection of manga adaptations of 9 of his greatest stories.

With spectacularly detailed, otherworldly illustrations, the brother-and-sister duo known as Nishioka Kyodai create a haunting, claustrophobic visual world for Kafka’s surreal masterpieces.

Features adapted versions of:
  •     The Metamorphosis
  •     A Hunger Artist
  •     In the Penal Colony
  •     A Country Doctor
  •     The Concerns of a Patriarch
  •     The Bucket Rider
  •     Jackals and Arabs
  •     A Fratricide
  •     The Vulture

Among the standouts are "The Metamorphosis" and "A Hunger Artist," which present absorbing moments for their unique art style to offer vivid entry points into Kafka's world and which take the immersion experience to a whole other level.
