I remember the title story, because it is still famous, though I don't recall its details. ( ) Kafka's Metamorphosis is clearly a modern classic, and any Kafka collection that includes it is going to be worth a read. Yet Metamorphosis can be read in other forms and editions almost anywhere, so why should one read this particular book? This edition is the full panoply of everything Kafka published when alive, so it represents his own judgment of which of his works were of worth. The title story is all you'd expect, and In the Penal Colony fascinates with a grisly concept of capital punishment. But apart from those two stories, here is really little worth reading here. Most of the pieces are little more than undeveloped vignettes or short stories. Other than the two longer stories mentioned above, this overall collection is barely worth your itme.
Om man vid något tillfälle känner att man inte riktigt passar in kan man finna tröst och oanade tolkningsmöjligheter i den här boken. Onderdeel van de uitgeversreeks(en)Bevat
THE METAMORPHOSIS begins as its protagonist, Gregor Samsa, wakes up one morning to find that he has become a huge insect. This change is understandably difficult for Gregor, not to mention his family and business. It ends up costing him his life. The story has been interpreted as everything from religious allegory to psychoanalytic case history, but works because, though written nearly a century ago, Kafka's fantastic imaginings convey a reality of their own. We surrender to Gregor's experience, which in a way becomes ours. Also included are stories by Guy de Maupassant: The Englishman, The Piece of String, The Necklace, A Crisis, The Will, Love, The Inn and Was it a Dream. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
