The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka

As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect. This succinct sentence is the beginning of Kafka's narrative which he writes out in detail with his distinctive and relentless objectivity. The grotesque thing about the metamorphosis to an insect is only just brought to light by the suppressed truth in Gregor Samsar's life. The ending can be foreseen but is still surprising; grotesque, dreamlike images get real through straight and precise language. A novel that encourages its readers to think about it. Franz Kafka: The Metamorphosis. Hard Cover in a Slipcase, 480 pages, 38 x 53 mm, Miniaturbuchverlag Leipzig 2003. German edition.

Wihelm Tell by Friedrich Schiller

Schiller formed his play from the historical events taking place in the Waldgaststätte between 1291 and 1315 as well as the Nordic myth of the apple shot. The foreign rule of the Austrians in Switzerland provoked the self-defence of the confederates who have led a life of naive-idyllic perception so far, not exposed to the altering power of policy but only to the cycle of nature. Through the famous apple shot Wilhelm Tell, the protagonist of the drama, is forced to risk the life of his child. In this way he is jolted from his idyllic believe and displaced into brutal reality. Friedrich Schiller: Wilhelm Tell. Hard cover in a slipcase, 512 pages, 38 x 53 mm, Miniaturbuchverlag Leipzig 2005. German edition. The decoration is only for view and not part of the offered product.
