About this ebook
Ein älterer Landarzt wird nachts zu einem Schwerkranken gerufen. Während sich das Dienstmädchen Rosa im Dorf um ein Leihpferd bemüht, da das eigene Pferd im "eisigen Winter" verendet ist, steht er im Schneetreiben in seinem Hof herum. Als Rosa ohne Pferd zurückkommt tritt der ratlose Arzt gegen die Tür eines vermeintlich leerstehenden Schweinestalles des eigenen Anwesens. Zu seiner Überraschung findet er dort zwei kräftige Pferde und einen unbekannten Mann vor, der wenig später urplötzlich über Rosa herfällt. Vom Arzt nur halbherzig zurechtgewiesen, spannt der Unbekannte bereitwillig die Tiere an den Wagen. Der Arzt steigt ein, und schon rast der Wagen davon, wobei der Arzt noch hört, wie die Haustür, hinter der sich die unglückliche Rosa eingeschlossen hat, unter dem Ansturm des Mannes zersplittert. In kürzester Zeit und selbständig legen die Pferde den weiten Weg zurück und bringen den Arzt an das Ziel, den Hof eines kranken Jungen. (Auszug aus Wikipedia)
About the author
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) remains one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in 20th-century literature. Born into a middle-class Jewish family in Prague, Kafka's life was marked by a profound sense of alienation and existential angst, themes that permeate his work. Despite his relatively short life and modest literary output, Kafka's unique narrative style and exploration of the absurdity of human existence have left an indelible mark on modern literature.Kafka's relationship with his domineering father profoundly impacted his psyche and writings, often reflecting themes of powerlessness and bureaucratic oppression. His works, characterized by their surreal, nightmarish quality, delve into the human condition's complexities, often portraying protagonists trapped in incomprehensible and hostile worlds.Controversially, Kafka instructed his close friend and confidant, Max Brod, to destroy all his unpublished manuscripts upon his death. Brod's decision to defy these wishes and publish Kafka's works posthumously ensured that masterpieces such as "The Trial" and "The Metamorphosis" reached a global audience, cementing Kafka's legacy.Kafka's influence extends far beyond literature; his exploration of existential dread and the absurd has resonated with existentialist philosophers and inspired countless contemporary writers, filmmakers, and artists. His revolutionary ideas about the individual's struggle against an indifferent and often hostile society continue to captivate and challenge readers, making Kafka a timeless and essential figure in the literary canon.
