Franz Kafka

The Country Doctor Franz Kafka - The plot follows a country doctor's hapless struggle to attend a sick young boy on a cold winter's night. A series of surreal events occur in the process, including the appearance of a mysterious groom in a pig shed.

The Country Doctor

First published in 1919, among the 14 stories contained in this volume are some of Kafka's most renowned shorter works: "Before the Law," "Jackals and Arabs," "A Report for an Academy." As with the other volumes published by Twisted Spoon Press, Kevin Blahut has produced a translation that is contemporary and fresh, capturing perfectly the ironic humor found in these stories. Though each volume has its own distinctive character, they have most often appeared in English in omnibus editions. They are presented here as separate editions, in new translations, each with its own illustrator from the Prague community.

A Country Doctor

remiel

"Não, liberdade eu não queria. Apenas uma saída; à direita, à esquerda, para onde quer que fosse; eu não fazia outras exigências, a saída podia também ser apenas um engano; a exigência era pequena, o engano não seria maior. Ir em frente, ir em frente! Só não ficar parado com os braços levantados, comprimido contra a parede de um caixote."
