"Like a dog." Excuse me while I have a week or two trying to come up with something to say about this beyond long winded, nightmarish, horrifically brilliant.

رواية جميلة وهى اول رواية اقرأها لكافكا اول ما بدأت اقرأ رويات كنت لا افضل الرويات الرمزية او العبثية ولكن بعد فترة قرأت اللجنة لصنع الله ابراهيم وعجبتني ومتهيألى ان مشكلة الرواية الرمزية ان قصد الكاتب او الرمزية التى يريدها اذا لم تصل للقارئ فستكون بالنسبة له رواية سيئة ..ولن يكون لها اى معنى..وليس...

UPDATE 2/13/14: I have been thinking about Kafka and the way I reviewed this book a lot- his works definitely make you think- and have decided to change my rating. I want to say that Albert Camus' quote that the thing about Kafka is that he causes you to reread him is extremely true. As disappointed...

شعرت بالألم كثيراً عند قرائتي لهذه الرواية، ربما لاجل إعتبارها ان التعذيب الوحشي واجب مقدس، و بالألم آكثر كلما روى الضابط كيفية تطبيق حكم الإعدام أو بـ آلة يدعونها "آلة المعجزة" التي تبدأ بتعذيب المحكوم بشكل مقزز و بقسوة على مدار 12 ساعة وهو يعاني، أي يموت ببطء تحت التعذيب و الإستلذاذ الآخرين بمشاهد...

I came into reading Kafka with high hopes. I had heard many great things about his works from many different people. Sadly though, his works did not meet my expectations. I am disappointed. I really wanted to like Kafka's writings, but I really do not. Part of this is my fault. I came into this expe...

I think it's a little mistake to judge Kafka considering only "The Metamorphosis". There's a whole different view on things in some of his stories. You're not going to find a nice, warm, fuzzy, Care Bear kind of book (that line made sense in my mind). But some of his stories do show another side of ...

Another Kafka story which equally baffled me and even more sinister if you found that Noh-influenced Japanese short anime film. Its a story about a doctor and the snow stormy night when he was called out to meet a patient but weird things started happening to him which is hard to explain what happen...

It might have been the translation, but this short story felt a bit flat in prose, despite the struggle between the characters. A very interesting short story that challenges our expectations of ourselves and others, the feelings of acceptance in periods of crisis and unusual circumstance, and the t...

A comic adaptation of Kafka's famous story of the same name. It's what you'd expect from such an adaptation, really. There's not much new in the way of story (as is preferable with most adaptations) but the visual element actually takes away many of the things that made the text so good, e.g. the am...
