Kafka's City of Prague and Czech Literature

Nori Ikeuchi's Workplace 3: Reading Kafka, Summary and Comments - A recommended introduction to Kafka!

Kafka's works are full of mysterious twists and turns, and there are many scenes that make the reader panic.

I highly recommend this book as an introduction and reference to Kafka.

This is especially recommended for those who find the Kafka difficult to approach because it is difficult and dark. I am sure it will change your image of Kafka. I have come to like Kafka more and more.

Franz Kafka's "The Castle" Synopsis and Impressions - Kafka's unfinished masterpiece explodes with absurdity! Satirizing rigid bureaucracy?

This work has tremendous magical power, so it may be difficult to get through it when you are tired or don't have a lot of time to spare.

I recommend that you read this book after you are in good physical condition and have some familiarity with Kafka.

Personally, I was quite impressed with this work. If you ask me if it was interesting or not, I honestly don't know. But it is true that it had a strong impact. This will be a work that I will never forget.

Kafka's "Judgment" Synopsis and Impressions - A strange trial that goes on and on and on. Kafka's masterpiece with absurd stagnation and a shivering ending!

This work is also very Kafkaesque. Kafka is best known for "Metamorphosis," but I personally felt that it was more Kafkaesque than "Metamorphosis. It is a work so full of absurdity that it gives me chills.

It is a tough work, but it is a work that should be read by all, even if you are not a Kafka fan. It could be called a work of horror that moves along at an unhurried pace.

V. Havel's "Jebráčká Opera" (The Beggar's Opera) is a masterpiece, a must-read for those who want to get a feel for the atmosphere after the Prague Spring!

作品そのものももちろん面白いのですが、秀逸なのはこの本に書かれている解説です。

This book is highly recommended to grasp the post-Prague Spring atmosphere! We hope this book will be more widely disseminated.

Don Quixote, the beloved itinerant knight.

(11) To study the Inquisition is to consider "What is man?

The more we learn, the more we realize that things are not so simple.

They could accuse the Inquisition of being weak on bribes and power, accuse torturers of being sadists, and accuse those in favor of war for the sake of colonial expansion of having made war." The author also states. It is easy to condemn a man who commits atrocities as an "evil man" and hold him responsible for his evil. But what if the evil is not unique to him, but is borne by human beings themselves? By blaming him, we are also blaming the human being itself, including ourselves.

The system of the Inquisition is not limited to medieval Spain. It continues in our world today. It is necessary to think about such human beings themselves.
