Romans & histoires The Best Of Franz Kafka

"W-What kind of books?" "What kind I like to read?", he asked with an amused tone, trying his hardest not to laugh. "I'm a classics kinda guy. I'm surrounded by so much technology I need a break and avoid futuristic books. My favourites are the Trial by Franz Kafka, 1984 by George Orwell, Don Quijote by Miguel de Cervantes. I should stop here or else I'll talk day and night about my favourite titles. I love any classical literature I pick up." Michael leaned forward. "Weren't it to the high expectations my parents left behind, I would have studied literature."

If you're so well-read, who is my favorite author?" Cale didn't hesitate. Not for a second. "Kafka," Cale said. "Specifically The Trial. You wrote your thesis on the psychology of unseen authority figures and the anxiety of indefinite litigation. You argued that Joseph K.'s guilt was self-imposed." The air left the alcove.
