Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka wurde am 3. Juli 1883 in Prag geboren und starb am 3. Juni 1924 in Vierling bei Wien. Er studierte Jura und Germanistik in Prag und legte 1906 seine Promotion zum Doktor der Rechtswissenschaften ab. Nach einer kurzen Zeit als Praktikant am Landgericht Prag war er von 1908 bis 1917 bei einer Versicherungsgesellschaft angestellt. Er erkrankte im Jahr 1917 an Tuberkulose und musste daher seinen Beruf aufgeben. Freundschaften zu Franz Werfel und insbesondere Max Brod und dem Verleger Kurt Wolff waren von großer Bedeutung für Kafkas literarisches Schaffen. Zu seinen wichtigsten Werken gehören die Erzählung „Die Verwandlung“ (1915) sowie die Romane „Der Prozess“ (1925), „Das Schloss“ (1926), „Amerika“ (1927) und eine Reihe kürzerer Prosa, zum Teil posthum erschienen.

Reviews for In the Penal Colony

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I read this because I was assigned to read "The Metamorphosis" for my World Lit II class, and when I was finished I was so taken with Kafka and I couldn't get enough. I downloaded this ebook and began reading it immediately after I was done with my assignment. I enjoyed it (though not as much as "The Metamorphosis") and I'm completely in love with Kafka's writing.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Guilt, fear, punishment, retribution. The desperation of the common man in the face of power. All were tattooed into Kafka's psyche and are recurrent themes in everything he wrote. In this grim little book, crimes are literally tattooed onto the skin of convicts until they experience enlightenment, and then they die.
