Betrachtung by Franz Kafka
"Betrachtung" by Franz Kafka is a collection of eighteen short stories written between 1904 and 1912. These brief contemplations mark Kafka's first published book, capturing fleeting moments of childhood wonder, social anxiety, sudden awakenings, and the masks people wear. Through unnamed narrators and ambiguous encounters, Kafka explores the tension between innocence and awareness, authenticity and performance. Each miniature tale offers a glimpse into the peculiar consciousness that would define his later work—where
ordinary situations reveal unexpected depths of alienation and self-discovery. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
