    Kafka

    Kafka
    Let's discuss kafka's works in this thread.
    Personally, I love the way kafka portrays the tribulations of the world .
    I've read 4 book written by him : Metamorphosis , The Castle ,Amerika , and The Trial.
    I found these books (specially Amerika ) quite good.
    In Amerika he traces the struggles of a 16 years old boy in an industrial and capitalistic country .
    It was very lamentable and bleak.
    I recommend it to you …
    The faint blaze of the candle of my life ,
    Slowly dying like a fire in a pouring rain,
    No sparks of hope inside
    No shooting stars on my sky
    On broken wings , no flying high …

    I've read Metamorphosis (my fave), the Trial, and a short story which appears to be a version of Amerika.

    1. Go to the library.
    2. Bring a pair of siccors.
    3. Move quickly.

    Just kidding. Actually I don't think you can get Amerika for free on the internet. Sorry. If you do find it however, please let me know.

    About Amerika: Read it and loved it. The latest (short)-story i've read is 'The Village Schoolmaster'. I would very much like to discuss this story - it is only 13 pages. You can read it here (for free! **** capitali$m!): http://swc2.hccs.edu/htmls/rowhtml/kafka/Story.htm

    Nothing further then he uttered; not a feather then he fluttered;
    Till I scarcely more than muttered, "Other friends have flown before;
    On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before."
    Then the bird said, "Nevermore."
