Can anyone recommend a bilingual(German-English) publication or pdf of Franz Kafka's work, and where can I get them?

I read that stry but I can't able to understand

Hello! I found this quote on the "Sunny Side of Kafka" Twitter page but can't figure out what letter or diary entry it is from (or if the Twitter user just lied and came up with it lol). I would love to use it as my senior quote but would need a proper source line so any help in figuring it out would be appreciated. Thank you!

Here is the quote:

Anyhow, I'm feeling very good today, as though I were just beginning to live.
Franz Kafka, 1908.

Kafka wrote about absurdity and alienation of modern life. I wonder who's the Kafka equivalent in 2024??

I finished the process today, and I wanted to understand more about the meaning of the feminine in the book, it seems to be something very symbolic that Josef K has so many lovers

I would like friends to talk to and discuss my new readings, "the process" "metamorphosis" and "letters to the father" (I'm Brazilian, I speak Portuguese but I accept friends from other countries)

Which book to start and in which order. And which translation? Is penguin classics books are authentic?

I remember read -letters to milena- but in the book never appear this popular poem someone know who is the really autor?

Dear Milena, I wish the world were ending tomorrow. Then I could take the next train, arrive at your doorstep in Vienna, and say: “Come with me, Milena. We are going to love each other without scruples or fear or restraint. Because the world is ending tomorrow.” Perhaps we don’t love unreasonably because we think we have time, or have to reckon with time. But what if we don't have time? Or what if time, as we know it, is irrelevant? Ah, if only the world were ending tomorrow. We could help each other very much.

hey everyone, i just started exploring kafka, and completed "the metamorphosis" and this question might seem out of the real context; how big really was gregor samsa after he became a vermin? was he the size comparable to a human, or a household cockroach, or maybe something in between. i do understand the essence of this piece but this was a big hurdle that was restricting my imagination.

Hi Guys, does anyone know where I could find the original german transcript of Die Verwandlung or any other short stories online for free? Thanks

I have read a decent amount of Kafka (many stories, Amerika, The Castle, although I haven’t picked up The Trial yet). I love him, but I’m still beguiled by him. I want to know how his prose works, why it is resonant with so many people.

I’m a fiction writer, and a lot of what Kafka does completely breaks the rules of what I have been taught. There are many moments that are random, inexplicable, and apparently unmotivated. For example, in The Country Doctor, the narrator is worried about the Groom attacking his servant girl, but his horses go wild taking him to the house of his patient. Despite this, there is apparently no attempt to control the horses, and it’s not even explained why he cannot control the horses. Later, they poke their heads through the windows of the house, which seems random and not really relevant to the plot.

But it still works. I was still enamored by the story. I’m not criticizing but rather trying to point out the rules that he breaks.

I want to figure what new rules Kafka established and find a way to replicate this in my own writing. When I have tried to write like Kafka in the past, it only ends up being an unengaging amalgamation of random moments, where the philosophical theme I’m going for is lost to the reader.

I’ve heard it said before that Kafka is a master of the unconscious (perhaps in Baxters the art of subtext?). I know that whatever Kafka is doing has to do with symbolism, structuring stories based on the unconscious meanings of things instead of reality (?)

What critical readings of Kafka could I read to help me understand how his prose works better?
