5.0�toiles sur 5 Bewilderingly blunt and terrifying. Sizzling in frustration., Mai 9 1999

Par Un client

This review is from: The Metamorphosis and Other Stories (Paperback)

Kafka presents to the reader a shockingly horrific account of a man, subservient to his aging parents' financial needs, awakening one morning to find himself a bug. Readers are awestruck by his response to this, as Gregor's immediate thoughts shift to fear of missing the train and the "five or six years of debts" he must pay to his employer on behalf of his parents. Struggling with such "arbitrary confusion", Gregor's journey through several months of living with his disastrous calamity is horrific to his audience in it's disgusting truth in the thrill of the routine and thus we see that this metamorphosis is really strictly a physical one, as Gregor has always been an "insect" and object of income to the household. Splendidly executed, Kafka provokes otherwise dormant sentiments of passiveness and futility in his reader and ultimately elicits bewildering feelings of helplessly gradual servility and suppression in one's environment.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Portrait of Despair, D�c 4 2003

Par Un client

This review is from: The Metamorphosis and Other Stories (Paperback)

Kafka is one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. He masterfulyl portrays the absolute meaninglessness of life in an existence devoid of any spiritual meaning. He accomplishes this in a way that completely captivates the reader, and impresses them with the sheer futility of it all. You may not have fun reading Kafka, but you will be stretched, and it will make you think. The Trial is also another brilliant example of Kafka's literary skill

This review is from: The Metamorphosis and Other Stories (Paperback)

The psychological becomes reality. Kafka's ability to create a world that is mad, but still has the intensity of truth is unequaled. Brilliant brilliant brilliant!
