ある朝夢から目覚めると、毒虫になっていた。突然虫になってしまった男と、その家族の生活という日常。あまりにも非日常的な出来事には、説明も何もない。ただ、【突然虫になってしまった】事実があるのみである。 「この子は虫じゃない。私達の家族だもの。」 そんなこと、現実では有り得ない。目の前に居るのは、どう見ても毒虫である。ただ、それだけ。家族を養えず、母親を気絶させ、下宿人を追い出そうとする、そんな虫が、家族である訳がない――。20世紀を代表する不条理小説として、現代でも必読書に挙げられることの多いカフカの「変身」。本作では実力派の朗読家が、非日常の日常を、淡々と冷ややかに読み上げる。人間のエゴや弱さを鋭く突く、問題作。

Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis, in a new modern-prose English translation, narrated straight through by Mike Vendetti. One morning, Gregor Samsa wakes up as an insect. His first worry is that he is late for work. His family's first worry is what to tell the boarders. A hundred years later, the story still comes across like it was written this morning—the exhaustion, the dread of the phone ringing, the way a family talks about a sick person as if he weren't in the room. Kafka wrote it in 1915. He never lived to see it in English.

K. is a land surveyor who arrives in a remote village with the hope of securing a position working for the mysterious Castle that looms over the settlement.

Zwei Verwandlungen werden in Kafkas humorvoll-erschreckender Erzählung beschrieben: die Gregor Samsas, als Andeutung auch eines "coming out", und die der Schwester Grete Samsa, die in dem Bruder nurmehr das Untier sehen will, das dem Leben im Wege steht. Indem sie Zweifel und Mitleid abstreift, ihren Blick mit kühler Distanz überzieht, sagt sie sich von ihrem Bruder los und reduziert ihn zum entmenschlichten Neutrum, zur Sächlichkeit des "es". "Weg muß es" rief die Schwester, "das ist das einzige Mittel, Vater. Du mußt bloß den Gedanken loszuwerden suchen, daß es Gregor ist.

Nur wenige seiner Werke hielt Franz Kafka für gu genug, um der Nachwelt erhalten zu bleiben. Die Verwandlung gehört dazu. Gregor Samsa findet sich eines Morgens in ein großes Ungeziefer verwandelt. Er nimmt diese Metamorphose scheinbar stoisch hin - doch wie soll und wird es weitergehen? Kafkas wohl berühmtestes Werk.

One morning Josef K. is arrested for a crime he did not commit. In fact, he is never even told the nature of the offense. His life is thrown into turmoil as he becomes enmeshed in a struggle to prove his innocence. As the confounding case unfolds, K. is ultimately powerless—battling against a remote and uncaring bureaucracy.

Blumfeld, ein älterer Junggeselle ist eine unvollendete Erzählung von Franz Kafka. Sie wurde 1915 verfasst und postum veröffentlicht. Kafkas Erzählung behandelt die skurrilen Schwierigkeiten eines Junggesellen in seinem Privat- und Berufsleben.

The Trial tells the story of a man arrested for an unknown crime by a remote, inaccessible authority and his struggle for control over the increasing absurdity of his life. One of Franz Kafka's best-known works, The Trial has been variously interpreted as an examination of political power, a satirical depiction of bureaucracy, and a pessimistic religious parable. Left unfinished at the time of Kafka's 1924 death, The Trial is nevertheless a trenchant depiction of the seemingly incomprehensible nature of existence....

The Metamorphosis is one of the most commonly referenced books when you talk about absurd literature. It is heralded as a masterpiece of the existential literature genre because of how it demands the reader to accept the absurdity of the world just as it is. Although some of the events of the story are fantastical in nature, the ideas it conveys about existence, the meaning of life, and humanity are relatable to us in the real world, too.

A classic tale of the state preventing recourse from their citizens for wrongs done to them. A metaphor like Orwell's 1984. Moving, frightening, and pure Kafka. A must listen.

„Jemand musste Josef K. verleumdet haben, denn ohne dass er etwas Böses getan hätte, wurde er eines Morgens verhaftet.“ Vergeblich versucht er herauszufinden, wessen er angeklagt wurde und wie er sich rechtfertigen könnte. Ebenso wenig greifbar sind das Gericht und das Gesetz. In einem Prozess, von dem nicht nur die Öffentlichkeit, sondern auch der Angeklagte ausgeschlossen bleibt, wird Josef K. schließlich von einer anonymen, für ihn unerreichbaren Gerichtsinstanz, die sich seinem Verständnis entzieht, zum Tod verurteilt.

The Metamorphosis is a story about a man who wakes up transformed into a bug and the repercussions it has on his life and the people around him. What does it all mean? It is most probably an autobiography of how Kafka himself experienced early life living with his parents. Kafka describes how he endured his mother and father's financial and emotional exploitations, to the point of detaching from them and thereby ceasing to be their son (the real metamorphosis).

A man arrives in a snow-covered village, summoned by authorities he cannot see and cannot reach. Above the town stands the Castle—distant, silent, and absolute. K., a land surveyor by profession, believes he has been hired. Yet no one confirms his position. Letters contradict each other. Officials remain unreachable. Messages pass through endless intermediaries. The system is vast, opaque, and impenetrable.
