In the days when hunger could be cultivated and practiced as an art form, the individuals who practiced it were often put on show for all to see. One man who was so devout in his pursuit of hunger pushed against the boundaries set by the circus that housed him and strived to go longer than forty days without food. As interest in his art began to fade, he pushed the boundaries even further. In this short story about one man's plight to prove his worth, Franz Kafka illustrates the themes of self-hatred, dedication, and spiritual yearning.

'In recent decades, interest in hunger artists has greatly diminished.' Kafka published two collections of short stories in his lifetime, A Country Doctor: Little Tales (1919) and A Hunger Artist: Four Stories (1924). Both collections are included in their entirety in this edition, which also contains other, uncollected stories and a selection of posthumously published works that have become part of the Kafka canon. Enigmatic, satirical, often bleakly humorous, these stories approach human experience at a tangent: a singing mouse, an ape, an inquisitive dog, and a paranoid burrowing creature are among the protagonists, as well as the professional starvation artist. A patient seems to be dying from a metaphysical wound; the war-horse of Alexander the Great steps aside from history and adopts a quiet profession as a lawyer. Fictional meditations on art and artists, and a series of aphorisms that come close to expressing Kafka's philosophy of life, further explore themes that recur in his major novels. Newly translated, and with an invaluable introduction and notes, Kafka's short stories are haunting and unforgettable. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

How has the act of eating become a metaphor for compliance, starvation the language of protest? How does the rejection of food become the rejection of intolerable social constraints? The author unravels the answers to these questions and more as she brilliantly explores the relationship between bodily hunger and verbal expression.

This book traces the various configurations of food as hunger, desire, and appetite which point to the complex dialectic of consumption and consummation of ideas and forms underpinning the arts. It examines the relationship between nature and science, space and the act of artistic creation, desire and the arts, appetite and hunger. One of the aims of the book is to explore established theoretical and historical conceptions of “nature” in the arts and re-think their relationship to appetite in the globalized world. Examining the many guises and figurations of hunger in literature and the arts, this book gives an overview of the themes that emerge from the idea of the Hunger Artist alongside the fact of food: the latter’s significance as a barometer of social class; its rich source as a metaphor in literature and art; its unequal distribution throughout the world; and the means by which its consumption can lead to gluttony and further exploitation of the “hungry.” One of the great strengths of this book is the trans-disciplinary nature of the contributions achieved by mapping how the arts in their representation of social, psychological, political, and philosophical perspectives draw attention to the problems associated with excessive human cravings.

A Hunger Artist is a thought-provoking short story by Franz Kafka that delves into themes of isolation, alienation, and the pursuit of personal authenticity. The narrative revolves around the enigmatic figure of the hunger artist, a performer whose artistry lies in his ability to endure prolonged fasting as a form of public spectacle. Set against the backdrop of a carnival-like atmosphere, the story follows the hunger artist as he engages in his extreme performances, captivating audiences with his self-imposed starvation. Despite his dedication to his craft, the hunger artist finds himself increasingly marginalized and misunderstood in a society that values spectacle over substance. As the story unfolds, the hunger artist grapples with his own existential crisis, longing for recognition and validation of his artistry in a world that seems indifferent to his suffering. Through his interactions with spectators, promoters, and admirers, Kafka explores the complexities of artistic expression, the fickleness of public opinion, and the inherent contradictions of human nature. A Hunger Artist is a poignant exploration of the tension between the individual s quest for authenticity and society s demands for conformity. With its stark imagery, introspective narrative, and existential themes, Kafka s tale challenges readers to confront their own assumptions about art, identity, and the pursuit of meaning in a world fraught with disillusionment and uncertainty.

The tales are among Kafka's best-known, haunting and compelling satires on the human condition, on art and artists, and on life itself, which complement his major fictions. Translated by the award-winning Joyce Crick, the book includes an invaluable introduction, notes, and other editorial material by renowned Kafka scholar Ritchie Robertson. There is also a Biographical Preface, an up-to-date bibliography, and a chronology of Kafka's life. This volume completes an Oxford World's Classics set of five Kafka works, in distinctive complementary cover designs.
