Representaion To Books In the Penal Colony

Kafka’nın Birinci Dünya Savaşı’nın karanlık günlerinde yazdığı Ceza Kolonisinde isimli öyküde, bilinmeyen bir adadaki koloniyi ziyarete giden bir gezgin, orada tüyler ürpertici bir sistemle karşılaşır. Kişinin suçlu olup olmadığına bakılmaksızın, ona kendini savunma hakkı bile verilmeden, acımasız bir zekânın ürünü olan tuhaf bir makineyle cezalandırıldığına tanık olur. Tüm gücü elinde tutan ve geçmişe körü körüne bağlı subayın anlattıklarıyla içinden çıkılması zor bir ikilemde kalır.

Gözlem ise, Kafka’nın 1904-1912 yılları arasında yazdığı on sekiz kısa öyküyü topladığı ilk kitabıdır. Birbirinden kaotik anlara ışık tutan bu eser, yakından bakıldığında aslında herkes için bir yerlerde var olan umudu anlatır.

İnsanın sıkıştığı cendereyi kendine has bir acımasızlıkla ele alarak Avrupa’nın içinde olduğu şiddet dolu atmosferi okurun iliklerine kadar işleten bu öyküleri, Ahmet Arpad’ın özenli çevirisiyle sunuyoruz.

Comment On Of Books In the Penal Colony

Franz Kafka, you eihter going to hate him or love him and in this case... you going to love him. Even if you are one of those who hears the name Kafka and thinks "oh i hate that guy" ( im not, i like him ) i think that you going to like this book.A few kilometers away from a colony, in the middle of a desert, stands a killing machine. Near it there is a military officer, a soldier, a prisoner that is going to be executed soon ( for something he may have done ) and..... you. Well in the book says

Eighty eight years before standing on a beach staring at the sea with Haruki Murakami, Franz Kafka went to the tropics.Being such a hermit crab, he stayed out of the tourist routes, taking a boat for docking in a muggy island and visiting a charming Penal Colony. Does it sound too heavy? Well, in case you didn't noticed, not everybody likes spending holidays drinking cold beer while swinging on a hammock giving a look to suntanned beauties all day long.Do you really think that a pale and

I wanted to reread this horrific parable by Kafka one more time- its been more than 50 years... So I bought & tried to read this affordable Kindle version.The original story is monumentally sardonic, a lugubriously dark tale about bad men of the twisted bent of an Ultimate Evil, which in the terror it evokes is Beyond Words.I was stupid, and I tried to read this. Horrors. This book was a lame and typo-ridden literal translation of the original version.To put Philip Glass name to it is

I can't believe I actually respected the Officer by the end of the story. While his beliefs are purely evil, if you can ever call anything purely evil, he stayed committed to them to the very end. He even died to prove his point. I loved that. The Condemned, on whose side we were in the beginning of the story, turned out to be.. umm.. a bastard. The Officer did forgive him, but when places changed, the Condemned failed to give forgiveness back to the Officer. Maybe he wasn't aware that he was

In the Penal Colony is a short story by Kafka a little different than the others, yet not. There are four characters in the story, each symbolizing his own bit. The Traveler goes to an island to inspect a method of execution carried out by The Officer with the use of a strange, yet elaborate machine. There is also The Condemned Man and The Soldier present. Soon enough the reader realizes that the machine isn't just a means of execution but rather an inhumane instrument of torture.I don't want to

It looks like a small and charming book, but it leaves you uneasy with its terrifying atmosphere and mysterious characters.

I first read this story (actually at least thrice, readings two and three immediately succeeding in turn after the first) when I was nine, in fourth grade (Mrs. Plotkin's class) in 1954. I was mad for short stories at the time and had bought a twenty-five cent small paperback anthology (even smaller than a Penguin, a size "They" haven't made for forty or fifty years) of which In the Penal Colony was the final story in the back of the book.I read it, and couldn't understand a thing. I could
