This letter is the closest that Kafka came to setting down his autobiography. He was driven to write it by his father's opposition to his engagement with Julie Wohryzek. The marriage did not take place; the letter was not delivered.

Charles Dickens ist ein Könner der Unterhaltung mit Tiefgang, Humor und kritischem Engagement, sein Roman „Oliver Twist", vielfach verfilmt, bleibt ein Standardwerk der Moderne. Das gilt auch für das naturalistische Drama „Fräulein Julie" von August Strindberg aus dem Jahr 1888, in dem der Schwede den Sprengstoff des Herzens und den Sprengstoff des Klassenkampfes auf der Bühne explodieren lässt.

Cosa si prova a svegliarsi una mattina trasformati in orrendi scarafaggi? La descrizione piana e minuziosa del gigantesco insetto, con la sua corazza dura e nera, le zampette che si dimenano, non risparmia orrore e angoscia al protagonista e al lettore.

Nel commesso viaggiatore Gregor Samsa, che sogna la felicità e scopre l'indifferenza, c'è tutta la tragica condizione dell'uomo contemporaneo.

As Gregor grapples with his shocking new reality, his once-loving family begins to recoil, viewing him as an outcast and burden.

Dass es in der Welt der durchorganisierten Gesellschaft zugeht wie in einem geordneten Irrenhaus, in dem die Momente des Zufalls, der Willkür und der belanglosen Gründlichkeit geheimen Gesetzen und Mustern folgen, die uns martern und entfremden, offenbart uns Franz Kafka mit seinem Roman „Der Prozess". Das Drama „Hamlet" von William Shakespeare zeigt einen Menschen in tiefer Krise seiner Existenz und spart dabei weder an Gruseleffekten, Humor, Philosophie oder Liebestragik.

La transformación de Gregorio, un viajante de comercio de telas, desencadena una serie de problemas para él y su familia, compuesta por sus padres y su hermana, debido a que es el único sostén de los Samsa.

A Hunger Artist. the last book Kafka prepared for publication, was printed after Kafka's death. The protagonist, a hunger artist who experiences the decline in appreciation of his craft, is an archetypical creation of Kafka: an individual marginalized and victimized by society at large.
