The pathos is sharp and omni-effective. It is still a classic to be sure, and will grow as one. Mandatory before one can be called literate. ( ) Many of the stories I found deplorable, but a select few were so incredibly glorious that they made up for the trifles. A report to an Academy is a triumphant account of an ape turned intellect. Jackals and Arabs is the most prolific story on the war between Jews and Muslims ever written, and Eleven Sons is an interesting account by a father observing his offspring in an analysis only Kafka could bring to life. Some stories of note with a rating out of ten: The Judgment 9/10 The Stoker 3/10 Metamorphosis 5/10 A Country Doctor 6/10 Jackals and Arabs 10/10 The Next Village 6/10 Eleven Sons 8/10 A Dream 7/10 A Report to an Academy 10/10 A Fasting-artist 9/10 geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin." With this startling, bizarre, yet surprisingly funny first sentence, Kafka begins his masterpiece, The Metamorphosis. It is the story of a young man who, transformed overnight into a giant beetlelike insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. A harrowing -- though absurdly comic -- meditation on human feelings of inadequecy, guilt, and isolation, The Metamorphosis has taken its place as one of the mosst widely read and influential works of twentieth-century fiction. As W.H. Auden wrote, "Kafka is important to us because his predicament is the predicament of modern man." Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
