Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 9 Up-Divided into four chapters, this volume addresses the art, themes, and psychology of this classic work, and then offers a section of interpretive criticism. Topics include a plot summary; character descriptions; Kafka's philosophy; historical background; imagery; religious metaphors; and themes of family, humanity, disgust, myth, guilt, power, isolation, rejection, self-caricature, banishment, allegory, and fable. Each essay is introduced with the scholar's credentials and states where the essay first appeared. A valuable resource.
