In this edition of the Classics Mondadori, in addition to "The Metamorphosis " are also collected:
- Condemnation
- A country doctor (they are all over 14 short stories)
- In the Penal Colony
- The lair (from " During construction of the Great Wall of China )
- a fast (from" A fasting person )

Anyone who can read beyond the lines, and capture the various messages contained in each story may, in addition to reflecting on the many silent and monstrous daughters of our society, being able to see in each of them, a sort of autobiography the writer.
short, is a book that absolutely must read! ;)
