Franz Kafka Short Story - 'The Stoker'
"The Stoker" (original German: "Der Heizer") is a short story by Franz Kafka. Kafka wrote it as the first chapter of a novel he called Amerika; but he abandoned the novel in 1913 and published the one completed chapter alone as a pamphlet later that year. Since his death, it has usually been published along with the uncompleted fragments of Amerika.
I tried to read this story naturally as if reading to myself. I'm still not super happy with the final product, though I think it comes together well in the latter portion of the story. I made some slight errors throughout.
This will probably my last Kafka read for a while, I find my David Foster Wallace reads and non-fiction have come out best so far.

Franz Kafka - Amerika (gelesen von Sven Regener)
Das ganze Hörbuch und mehr Infos findest du hier: http://spooks.io/9783864841040
Inhaltsangabe:
Wer kann dir helfen, wenn das Glück dich verlässt? Einmal im Leben gewinnt Samir das große Geld. Hat er den Mut, damit alles zu ändern? Der Boxer David steht kurz vor dem entscheidenden Kampf. Doch dann stirbt sein Bruder ... Es sind Momente, die eine Existenz auf den Punkt bringen, die wie unter einem Brennglas Hoffnungen und Wünsche eines Lebens zusammenfassen. Ohne Pathos und voller Wärme erzählt Jens Eisel von ihnen, mit Pointen, die so treffend wie unaufgeregt sind. Es sind knappe Stories, die lange nachhallen, und sie erinnern an große amerikanische Vorbilder wie Richard Ford.

"The Stoker" (original German: "Der Heizer") is a short story by Franz Kafka. Kafka wrote it as the first chapter of a novel he called Amerika; but he abandoned the novel in 1913 and published the one completed chapter alone as a pamphlet later that year. Since his death, it has usually been published along with the uncompleted fragments of Amerika.
I tried to read this story naturally as if reading to myself. I'm still not super happy with the final product, though I think it comes together well in the latter portion of the story. I made some slight errors throughout.
This will probably my last Kafka read for a while, I find my David Foster Wallace reads and non-fiction have come out best so far.

Das Schloss ist neben Der Verschollene (auch bekannt unter Amerika) und Der Process einer der drei unvollendeten Romane Franz Kafkas. Das 1922 entstandene Werk wurde 1926 von Max Brod postum veröffentlicht. Es schildert den vergeblichen Kampf des Landvermessers K. um Anerkennung seiner beruflichen und privaten Existenz durch ein geheimnisvolles Schloss und dessen Vertreter.
Zu Beginn des Romanfragments trifft der Protagonist K. in einem winterlichen Dorf ein, das zur Herrschaft eines Schlosses gehört. Gefragt, ob er eine Erlaubnis zum Aufenthalt habe, erklärt er, der bestellte Landvermesser zu sein. Wie aus einem Gespräch mit dem Dorfvorsteher im weiteren Verlauf hervorgeht, wurde die Bestellung eines Landvermessers zwar diskutiert, es bleibt aber ungeklärt, ob eine Berufung K.s tatsächlich erfolgte. So darf er zwar bleiben, aber nur zeitweise als Schuldiener arbeiten.

THE METAMORPHOSIS by Franz Kafka - FULL AudioBook | GreatestAudioBooks V4 - The Metamorphosis (version 4)
Franz KAFKA (1883 - 1924), translated by Ian JOHNSTON. This story, about a man who wakes up transformed into a bug and the repercussions it has on his life and the people around him, has intrigued me for many years. The translation is by Ian Johnston, not the translator that is in Gutenberg; I like Johnston's more. What does it mean? [Spoiler possibly]In my mind it is not complicated at all and is most probably an autobiography of how Kafka himself had experienced his early life living with his parents. Kafka describes how he had experienced his parents’ financial and emotional exploitation's of him, to the point of detaching from them and thereby ceasing to be their son (the real met...

The Metamorphosis
Franz Kafka (3 July 1883 -- 3 June 1924) was a German-language writer of novels and short stories, regarded by critics as one of the most influential authors of the 20th century. Kafka strongly influenced genres such as existentialism. His works, such as "Die Verwandlung" ("The Metamorphosis"), Der Process (The Trial), and Das Schloss (The Castle), are filled with the themes and archetypes of alienation, physical and psychological brutality, parent--child conflict, characters on a terrifying quest, and mystical transformations.
Kafka was born into a middle-class, German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, then part of the A...

THE METAMORPHOSIS by Franz Kafka - FULL AudioBook | GreatestAudioBooks V4 - The Metamorphosis (version 4)
Franz KAFKA (1883 - 1924), translated by Ian JOHNSTON. This story, about a man who wakes up transformed into a bug and the repercussions it has on his life and the people around him, has intrigued me for many years. The translation is by Ian Johnston, not the translator that is in Gutenberg; I like Johnston's more. What does it mean? [Spoiler possibly]In my mind it is not complicated at all and is most probably an autobiography of how Kafka himself had experienced his early life living with his parents. Kafka describes how he had experienced his parents’ financial and emotional exploitation's of him, to the point of detaching from them and thereby ceasing to be their son (the real metamorphosis). Gregor’s metamorphosis is that of Kafka’s being an obedient son, subserviently paying for his parents’ narcissistic needs with his own life, into being a disobedient one—as if he had become a ‘piece of vermin’. Gregor’s parents possessed a large sum of money in savings, which symbolizes the needlessness of Gregor’s exploitation. In other words, the parents did not love him for who he was, but for his loyal willingness to undergo this exploitation. Reduced to vermin, Gregor can (or will) no longer financially benefit his parents. It is the parents that caused Gregor’s/Kafka’s metamorphosis. The debt Gregor intended to repay his parents symbolizes the emotional debt many adult children continue to feel towards their elderly parents for the love and care they have provided. Sister Grete, at first siding with her brother against their unfriendliest father, eventually switches sides after her brother’s metamorphosis, conveniently seizing first place in the sibling hierarchy, a reference to Kafka’s relationship with one of his siblings. - Summary by Phil Chenevert

As a traveling salesman, he is a reliable man and the key source of income for his family, and they are understandably horrified by his sudden change in form. Though his sister Grete attempts to care for him in his new incarnation, his father and mother both shun him.
His aging parents and sister are forced to take jobs and take in three demanding boarders to make ends meet as Gregor keeps hidden in his room by a mutual, unspoken understanding, spending his days reflecting on family.
Isolated in his room, he becomes increasingly depressed. Ultimately, his father throws an apple at him when he attempts to check on his mother, who has passed out at the sight of him. This sinks Gregor into a deeper depression and he loses the will to live.
Gregor’s death relieves the family and they treat themselves to a day in the countryside and begin to plan their future.
The Metamorphosis threads what might be taken as a simple horror story with observations about familial relationships and middle-class despondency. Though the main character is an insect, the story is profoundly human.
Jewish writer Franz Kafka is considered a master of 20th-century German literature, and The Metamorphosis was first published in 1915. However, the novella would not achieve popular acclaim until after his death. In fact, many of his unconventional stories were published posthumously against his wishes. Today the term Kafkaesque is used to describe the bizarre and fantastical.
The novella The Metamorphosis contains many powerful themes including mind and body, as Gregor no longer looks human, though his thoughts stay the same, revealing a disconnect between mind and body; alienation in modern life, as Gregor's transformation represents feelings of isolation; and family ties, as the emotions of Gregor's family range from love and compassion to resentment and horror. Important symbols include the woman in furs, vermin, and uniforms.

The Metamorphosis is a novella by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It has been called one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century and is studied in colleges and universities across the Western world.
The story begins with a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, waking to find himself transformed (metamorphosed) into a large, monstrous insect-like creature. The cause of Gregor's transformation is never revealed, and Kafka himself never gave an explanation. The rest of Kafka's novella deals with Gregor's attempts to adjust to his new condition as he deals with being burdensome to his parents and sister, who are repelled by the horrible, verminous creature Gregor has become.

The Metamorphosis
Franz Kafka (3 July 1883 -- 3 June 1924) was a German-language writer of novels and short stories, regarded by critics as one of the most influential authors of the 20th century. Kafka strongly influenced genres such as existentialism. His works, such as "Die Verwandlung" ("The Metamorphosis"), Der Process (The Trial), and Das Schloss (The Castle), are filled with the themes and archetypes of alienation, physical and psychological brutality, parent--child conflict, characters on a terrifying quest, and mystical transformations.
Kafka was born into a middle-class, German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He trained as a lawyer and, after completing his legal education, obtained employment with an insurance company. He began to write short stories in his spare time. For the rest of his life, he complained about the little time he had to devote to what he came to regard as his calling. He regretted having to devote so much attention to his Brotberuf ("day job", literally "bread job"). Kafka preferred to communicate by letter; he wrote hundreds of letters to family and close female friends, including his father, his fiancée Felice Bauer, and his youngest sister Ottla. He had a complicated and troubled relationship with his father that had a major effect on his writing. He also suffered conflict over being Jewish, feeling that it had little to do with him, although critics argue that it influenced his writing.
Only a few of Kafka's works were published during his lifetime: the story collections Betrachtung (Contemplation) and Ein Landarzt (A Country Doctor), and individual stories (such as "Die Verwandlung") in literary magazines. He prepared the story collection Ein Hungerkünstler (A Hunger Artist) for print, but it was not published until after his death. Kafka's unfinished works, including his novels Der Process, Das Schloss and Amerika (also known as Der Verschollene, The Man Who Disappeared), were published posthumously, mostly by his friend Max Brod, who ignored Kafka's wish to have the manuscripts destroyed. Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre are among the writers influenced by Kafka's work; the term Kafkaesque has entered the English language to describe surreal situations like those in his writing.
