Die Verwandlung

Franz Kafka

Gregor Samsa wacht eines Morgens als Käfer auf kein Alptraum, sondern traurige Realität. In Tiergestalt hält Gregor Samsa der Welt den Spiegel vor. Trotz seines friedfertigen und unschuldigen Lebens als Ungeziefer wird er von seiner Familie verstoßen und schließlich in den Tod getrieben. Kafkas Verwandlung ist die groteske Parabel einer stillen Revolte gegen die Unmenschlichkeit. Ein schweigender Protestschrei, der am Ende ohnmächtig bleibt, aber bis heute eines der aufregendsten Werke der Weltliteratur.

Arundel

E.F. Benson

Arundel is the name of the country house where most of the events take place. Elizabeth, like every good girl heroine of Benson, is completely devoted to her father... but not as much as it may seem. Many heroes are filled with negative characteristics. They are mean and cunning. Although this is a novel, but there are echoes of comedy.
