A young man and woman meet on a train in Europe, and wind up spending one evening together in Vienna. Unfortunately, both know that this will probably be their only night together.

“This fine version, with David Cronenberg’s inspired introduction and the new translator’s beguiling afterword, is, I suspect, the most disturbing though the most comforting of all so far; others will follow, but don’t hesitate: this is the transforming text for you.”―Richard Howard
Franz Kafka’s 1915 novella of unexplained horror and nightmarish transformation became a worldwide classic and remains a century later one of the most widely read works of fiction in the world. It is the story of traveling salesman Gregor Samsa, who wakes one morning to find himself transformed into a monstrous insect. This hugely influential work inspired George Orwell, Albert Camus, Jorge Louis Borges, and Ray Bradbury, while continuing to unsettle millions of readers.
In her new translation of Kafka’s masterpiece, Susan Bernofsky strives to capture both the humor and the humanity in this macabre tale, underscoring the ways in which Gregor Samsa’s grotesque metamorphosis is just the physical manifestation of his longstanding spiritual impoverishment.

《昨日的世界》是奥地利作家斯特凡•茨威格创作的自传体文学作品,写于1939年至1941年间，是茨威格在临终前被迫流亡的日子里完成的。在茨威格离世以后，于1942年在斯德哥尔摩出版。
在这部作品里，茨威格把个人命运与时代融为一体，通过自己所经历的人与事，展示了他生活过的城市和国家的文化生活风貌，记录了从第一次世界大战前夜到第二次世界大战时动荡的欧洲社会，描述了他与一些世界闻名的诗人、作家、雕塑家、音乐家交往的情景，批露了世界文化名人鲜为人知的生活轶事，同时穿插了作者各种细腻的心迹。茨威格从出生的城市维也纳和自己的犹太家庭写起，一直写到1939年9月已满60岁的时候，时值第二次世界大战爆发，他认为，这是“我们这些六十岁人的时代彻底结束”。
