Story0
"Jackals and Arabs" is a short story by Franz Kafka, written and published in 1917. The story was first published by Martin Buber in the German monthly Der Jude. A European traveler from the North, accompanied by Arab guides, is camped in the desert. When night falls, and the Arabs are at a distance, the traveler is accosted by talking jackals. The jackals speak of an age-old hatred for Arabs, whom they associate with uncleanliness. They relate a belief passed down from their ancestors, that a man such as the protagonist would be the one to "end the quarrel which divides the world in two".

Story0
"The Hunter Gracchus" is a short story by Franz Kafka. The story presents a boat carrying the long-dead Hunter Gracchus as it arrives at a port. The mayor of Riva meets Gracchus, who gives him an account of his death while hunting, and explains that he is destined to wander aimlessly and eternally over the seas. An additional fragment presents an extended dialogue between Gracchus and an unnamed interviewer, presumably the same mayor.Written in the first half of 1917, the story was published posthumously in Beim Bau der Chinesischen Mauer (Berlin, 1931).

Story0
"A Country Doctor" is a short story written in 1917 by Franz Kafka. It was first published in the collection of short stories of the same title. In the story, a country doctor makes an emergency visit to a sick patient on a winter night. The doctor faces absurd, surreal predicaments that pull him along and finally doom him. A Country Doctor is perhaps Kafka's most fantastical or surreal work. It takes its cue from Gothic literature – it has echoes of Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne – and analysing and identifying the core 'meaning' of the story has proved tricky

"Eine neue Wirklichkeit schuf Kafka in seinen Werken, eine neue, eigene Atmosphäre, reiner, kälter, strenger als unsere, und doch nur Abbild und Ausdruck unserer Wirklichkeit (…) Nicht jedem und nicht leicht ist diese neue Welt zugänglich. Sie macht dem Außenstehenden oft den Eindruck des Seltsamen, ja des Sinnlosen.

"Seit dem ›Michael Kohlhaas‹ ist keine deutsche Novelle geschrieben worden, die mit so bewußter Kraft jede innere Anteilnahme anscheinend unterdrückt, und die doch so durchblutet ist von ihrem Autor. Die Geschichte ist einfach die, daß in der Strafkolonie ein aufsässiger Soldat auf einen irren Apparat geschnallt wird, und dort foltert man ihn. Dort wird ihm seine Strafe, die These: ›Ehre deinen Vorgesetzten‹, auf den nackten Leib geschrieben. Nadeln besorgen das." (Kurt Tucholsky)"Die ungeheure Welt, die ich im Kopfe habe. Aber wie mich befreien und sie befreien ohne zu zerreißen.

"Nie mehr Psychologie" heisst es bei Kafka in den Oktav- heften. Gleichwohl: Der Brief an den Vater ist das Dokument einer sublimen psychologischen Hellsichtigkeit. In Andeutungen schildert der Sohn das für ein ganzes Leben Unglaubliche: Den unwiderstehlichen Drang des doch so kraftvollen Vaters aus dessen geheimem Gefühl der Inferiorität seinen eigenen Sohn zu demütigen und zu depravieren.

Story0
Kafkas Dichtungen sind, so Thomas Mann, "oft ganz und gar im Charakter des Traumes konzipiert und gestaltet; sie ahmen die alogische und beklommene Narretei der Träume, dieser wunderlichen Schattenspiele des Lebens, zum Lachen genau nach" und bedürfen bei der sprecherischen Wieder-Holung sowohl tiefer Einfühlung als auch zugleich persönlicher Zurücknahme. Nur im sprecherischen Nachempfinden dieser für Kafka spezifischen Methodik wird möglich, was Albert Camus beschreibt: dass der Zuhörende "an die Grenzen des menschlichen Denkens versetzt" wird. "Besondere Methode des Denkens.

"Es gestaltet sich in Kafkas Erzählung ein ursprünglicher Trieb zur Güte aus, kein Ressentiment, sondern etwas von der verschütteten Leidenschaft des Kindesalters für das Gute; jenes Gefühl aufgeregter Kindergebete (...) und viel, wofür man keinen anderen Ausdruck als moralische Zartheit bilden kann.
