This fiction included not only \u003ci\u003eThe Castle \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Trial \u003c\/i\u003ebut also the amazingly varied, chilling and ingenious short works collected in \u003ci\u003eThe Burrow and Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e.  These tales, some little more than a page, others much more substantial, are among the greatest works of Central European literature.  They vary from the tiny and horrifying 'Little Fable' to the elaborate waking nightmares of 'Building the Great Wall of China' and the title story 'The Burrow', in which an unidentified creature describes its creation of an endlessly elaborate burrow to protect itself from unidentified enemies, but with every trap or tunnel only creating further terrors and uncertainty.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48181160968350,"sku":"UBD-9780241372593","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780241372593.jpg?v=1787399412","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780241372593","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
