Excepționale, prin profunzime și multitudinea de înțelesuri: "Metamorfoza", care spune atât de multe despre adevărata valoare acordată individului de societate, chiar și de propria familie, chiar și când sacrifică totul pt ei; "O dare de seamă pentru o academie", despre ce ne face umani (in cele mai rele și josnice sensuri) și "Colonia penitenciara", simultan o excepțională demascare a colonialismului genocidar (Congo, deși autorul nu dă nume), ca și a sistemului judiciar german (în mai multe scrieri mi s-a parut că F. Kafka a prognozat excepțional esența stalinismului și holocaustului, deși a murit inainte de manifestarea lor). Restul textelor variază între bune ("În fața legii", "11 feciori"), mediocre ("Verdict") și proaste ("Medic de țară"). Per ansamblu, proză scurtă atât de crudă și dură precum la Kafka am mai întâlnit doar la supraviețuitorii Gulagului, precum Șalamov. My god...... Not much. The 3 short stories Metamorphosis, In The Penal Colony and The Judgement all very different but none were to my liking. I need to read some reviews/critiques to get a better understanding. I'm missing something.

In this, his most famous story, Franz Kafka explores the notions of alienation and human loneliness through extraordinary narrative technique and depth of imagination. Gregor Samsa awakens one morning to find himself transformed into a repulsive bug. Trapped inside this hideous form, his mind remains unchanged--until he sees the shocked reaction of those around him. He begins to question the basis of human love and, indeed, the entire purpose of his existence. But this, it seems, is only the beginning of his ordeal. Franz Kafka is one of the most prominent figures of 20th-century literature; his work, much of which was published posthumously, includes The Trial and The Castle. No library descriptions found. |

A sad and thoughtful book. Very short with no plot other than the transformation and reactions to it over time. The lead character has to be pitied. Overall a short easy read, but a heavy disquieting subject. (
