Description
What is the special relationship between Kafka's writing and our reading that creates such power? Can this force be explained, can its field lines be traced? The author, through letters to his family, helps you explore "In the Penal Colony": to journey through its wordscape of terrible beauty, brilliant light and dark shadows; to walk through the gate it opens to Kafka's world, the universe of his writing.
