À propos de cet audio
In the bizarre world of Franz Kafka, salesmen turn into giant bugs, apes give lectures at college academies, and nightmares probe the mysteries of modern humanity’s unhappiness. More than any other modern writer in world literature, Kafka captures the loneliness and misery that fill the lives of 20th-century humanity. The Metamorphosis and Other Stories reveals the author’s extraordinary talent in a variety of forms—prose poems, short stories, sketches, allegories, and novelettes—and showcases the straight–faced humor, startling psychological insight, and haunting imagination for which he is revered as a modern master. In this brilliant new translation, prize–winning translator Joachim Neugroschel preserves the delicate balance, rich timbre, and wondrous language of Kafka’s original works. In addition to "The Metamorphosis", this collection includes "Early Stories", "Contemplation", "The Judgement", "The Stoker", "In the Penal Colony", and "A Country Doctor".

As appreciative I am of having this extensive collection of Kafka’s works, I found the organization of this audiobook frustrating. This title contains several short story collections, each of which is named for one of the stories in the collection, but then that story does not come first. In print, this would be fine, but if you want to know what you are listening to, it can be most confusing! The novels are interspersed between the short stories, so they can be hard to locate. Perhaps the sequence made sense when first assembled (maybe are in the sequence written, or published, or something else (?).
Regardless, it’s challenging for a reader (listener) who doesn’t want to listen sequentially, needs to locate a particular title, or simply wants to keep track of what has/hasn’t been listened to.
You ‘meet’ the translator in Chapters 1, 2 and 51, the latter being an interview that should not be missed.
The first story (Conversation with a Worshipper) begins half way through Chapter 2.
If you are looking for, The Metamorphosis, it spans chapters 27-32.
The Country Doctor (chapter 34) was really creepy, so skip it if your stomach is easily upset.
Wasn’t that handy? If you wanted to find (or avoid) a novel or story, without a table of contents it is impossible. So… I built my own. I am sharing it here, to help the next person like me!
