Kafka's City of Prague and Czech Literature

Chapek Recommended "Robot (R.U.R.)" Synopsis and Comments - The origin of the word "robot" is this work! Shockingly interesting!

I read it in one sitting, losing track of time. It is not often that one comes across such a work of art. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a masterpiece among masterpieces. It is a tremendous work.

I love Kafka's works, but I must admit that I was bowled over by this Chapek. I think it is a wonderful work that is not at all inferior to "The Metamorphosis," although the genres are different.

I recommend this book as it is very clear and easy to read.

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.
