The Complete Short Stories of Franz Kafka
The Complete Short Stories of Franz Kafka | Franz Kafka
This volume contains all of Kafka's shorter fiction, from fragments, parables and sketches to longer tales. Together they reveal the breadth of Kafka's literary vision and the extraordinary imaginative depth of his thought. Some are well-known, others are mere jottings, observations of daily life, given artistic form through Kafka's unique perception of the world.

"And so long as you say" one" instead of "I", there's nothing in it and one can easily tell the story; but as soon as you admit to yourself that it is you yourself, you feel as though transfixed and are horrified.", In the short story" Wedding Preparations in the Country", by Franz Kafka.
One of the many things I'm loving about this anthology is getting to know Kafka's humour a bit better.

La Metamorfosi e La Colonia Penale bellissimi, lasciano una sensazione di inquietudine e di malessere incredibile. Gli altri racconti invece troppo brevi o troppo poco incisivi per lasciarmi qualcosa. Peccato.

This book includes all the stories written by Franz Kafka. From small to... long-ish. What an exceptional writer, what unique mind. Even after reading and rereading and rereading again, there's always something new to find in his texts.

#Bookhaul thanks to big coupon 😁! I can‘t believe I didn‘t have the two on the right until now. I have the TTC in a collection, not on its own 👍🏻👍🏻.

Do you own and have you read any of these?!

Patchshank I have that same copy of Kafka. I haven't made my way through it yet. I also have The Prophet. I'm not big into poetry, so that aspect of it was eh for me. But overall it was interesting enough. 5y
tpixie I read The Prophet as a teen and it had great impact on me. Have wanted to read it again. ( several decades later- I better get in it!) 5y

My grandfather used to say: Life is astoundingly short. To me, looking back over it, life seems so foreshortened that I scarcely understand, for instance, how a young man can decide to ride over to the next village without being afraid that -not to mention accidents- even the span of a normal happy life may fall far short of the time needed for such a journey.

Cathythoughts That's one way of putting it. . Life is so short, especially towards the final furlong. Life is precious 7y

Strange. Compelling. Unsettling. Leaves the reader feeling as though they've seen something they shouldn't have.

Spent so much time agonizing over what book to bring along to #BEA16 and never even cracked the cover. I know better.
