livlavlov's review against another edition
2.5
Een kleine bundeling van kort verhalen. Sommige vond ik heel goed en bij andere had ik het gevoel dat ik iets niet zag of niet goed door had omdat ik Kafka niet even hard kan appreciëren zoals sommige anderen.
ghosthardware98's review against another edition
My favorite stories were Up in the Gallery, Before the Law and A Report to the Academy. Most stories were a little too abstract for me to grasp them, but I liked this more than his first collection 'Contemplation'.

"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."

Pas du tout le genre de livres que j'ai l'habitude de lire, je suis obligée de reconnaître que c'est très fluide, intéressant et souvent même prenant. Les petites nouvelles fonctionnent bien, avec une dose de bizarre souvent difficilement explicitable, et pourtant toujours juste. Néanmoins, certaines nouvelles accusent le temps et ne sont plus vraiment des mœurs d'aujourd'hui
