Book Reviews of Franz Kafka: The Complete Stories
Book Review: The meaning of life in one small volume.
Summary: 5 Stars
Kafka's stories prove that he is a literary genius. His stories are easy to read and extremely deep. The light reader who just skims the page will not do that well with this book. But, if you are a person who loves to think about what you read, this book is for you. Kafka deserves much fame and intention because of his stories. Every story has an inner-message that can only be found by contemplation. The inner meaning usually has to do with life, respect, and love.
Follow my advice, buy it, read it, love it, and E-mail me to tell me about it (allennickell@wesnet.com).Book Review: Doesn't Get More Influential than this
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best of the best. Kafka is a lonely reclusive German man who sold insurance and wrote in his spare time. One of the most imaginative writers ever, and certainly one of the most influential. If you like anything written by Charlie Kaufman, he draws a lot of inspiration from Kafka. So do countless other writers. For the people who are unfamiliar, and maybe not open minded to Kafka it may be a strange experience. But, if you read his work ready for whatever is coming next, no matter how surreal, this will be an amazing experience.Book Review: wondering
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't own this, but I was wondering if someone could list the stories included in this book. I've read and loved "The Metamorphosis and Other Stories," so I'm wondering if a majority of the stories in this are already included in the book I own. Or, since this is probably a far too strenuous task, if someone whom has read both could tell me if my thoughts are true or not, it'd be greatly appreciated. I know this isn't that great of a review for a book I haven't even read, but maybe there are more people wanting the same information.Book Review: The seperate permant place
Summary: 5 Stars
It would be foolish to offer too much praise. These stories demonstrate the internal collapse of a great mind; a mind great enough to observe its own maker. Yet for the reader who has been through such a sensation Kafka is supreme. He offers easy to read stories with almost unmatched complexities. I guess in many ways he represents what is buetiful about our deaths; a buety I must admit my daily life does not always allow me to appreciate and corraspond with. Never the less I must praise him in the end.Book Review: Kafka's Best Works
Summary: 5 Stars
_The Complete Stories_ by Kafka rank at the top of my list of the best short-story collections ever. The works contained in this volume represent Kafka's most important, innovative, and groundbreaking works. Collectively, this volume is exponentially better than any one of Kafka's fine novels. This is the real Kafka, and the reader will quickly realize that 70-80% of Kafka's most important works and ideas are contained in this volume.
