Kafka's first book, Contemplation is perhaps his most unique. The eighteen short pieces that make up this volume range from the laconic descripition of "the passenger" to the inner meditation of "the trees" to the fantastical situations of "Unhappiness". On display, is the talent and "style" that was to make Kafka's later work so iconic. It is published here as a separate volume as originally conceivied by the author and complemented by 18 pen-and-ink drawings. The present translation by Kevin Blahut is fresh, contemporary and perfectly captures the vivacity of Kafka's prose
