A Dream by Franz Kafka

I'd like to propose you the short story written by Franz Kafka.

A Dream

Narrator describes a dream where Joseph K. is walking through a cemetery. There are tombstones around him, and the setting is the typical misty and dim atmosphere. Soon he sees someone carving out a name on a stone, and as he approaches he soon notices it is his own name.

  • My important message for the public: If you love Kafka, you will enjoy Ingmar Bergman's film,Wild Straberries (Smultronstallet), 1957. The influence of our writer can be seen mainly in the scenes of the main character's dreams. It is a unic film. I don't think it can be found easily on the net. (It is too good to be popular.)

    • I'm so happy that the book is turned out to be useful!

    • You're welocome :D

  • I've finished reading it, but ... hmmm .. maybe Franz Kafka is beyond my comprehension. LOL. So now I can add another author that I put in the list of 'Beyond Comprehension'.

    Anyway, thanks for sharing the link. 

    • Not at all :D

      No wonder, tastes differ. Many of my friends consider classical literature and Kafka in particular a bit boring. I'm not sure if I understand him correctly.

      Looking forward you share books from your library. Especially one wich contains a secret of long and active life :D

    • Hmm .. surprisingly, I've read a few of Hemingway's books. Though I don't remember which books and what they were all about. So, now you know how GREAT Hemingway's impact on me. :-P
