This carefully crafted ebook is formatted with a functional and detailed table of contents.Franz Kafka (3 July 1883 – 3 June 1924) was a German-language writer of novels and short stories, regarded by critics as one of the most influential authors of the 20th century. Kafka strongly influenced genres such as existentialism. Most of his works, such as "Die Verwandlung" ("The Metamorphosis"), "Der Prozess" ("The Trial"), and "Das Schloss" ("The Castle"), are filled with the themes and archetypes of alienation, physical and psychological brutality, parent–child conflict, characters on a terrifying quest, labyrinths of bureaucracy, and mystical transformations. Kafka was born into a middle-class, German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In his lifetime, most of the population of Prague spoke Czech, and the division between Czech- and German-speaking people was a tangible reality, as both groups were strengthening their national identity. The Jewish community often found itself in between the two sentiments, naturally raising questions about a place to which one belongs. Kafka himself was fluent in both languages, considering German his mother tongue. Kafka trained as a lawyer and, after completing his legal education, obtained employment with an insurance company. He began to write short stories in his spare time. For the rest of his life, he complained about the little time he had to devote to what he came to regard as his calling. He regretted having to devote so much attention to his "Brotberuf" ("day job", literally "bread job"). Kafka preferred to communicate by letter; he wrote hundreds of letters to family and close female friends, including his father, his fiancée Felice Bauer, and his youngest sister Ottla. He had a complicated and troubled relationship with his father that had a major effect on his writing. He also suffered conflict over being Jewish, feeling that it had little to do with him, although critics argue that it influenced his writing.This collection contains the following works:- The Metamorphosis- A Country Doctor- A Hunger Artist- A Report for an Academy- An Imperial Message- Before the Law- In the Penal Colony- Jackals and Arabs- The Great Wall of China- The Hunter Gracchus- The Trial- Up in the Gallery

Odysseia'n?n MO 800 ila 600 y?llar? aras?nda yaz?ld??? dü?ünülmektedir. Manzum eser ?lyada'n?n devam? niteli?indedir ve Yunan kahraman Odysseus'un Truva'n?n dü?ü?ünden sonra vatan? ?thaka'ya yapt??? maceralarla dolu uzun yolculu?u anlat?r. 10 y?l süren sava?tan sonra Odysseus'un ?thaka'ya d?nmesi 10 y?l?n? al?r, ve bu 20 y?ll?k uzakl???nda o?lu Telema?hus ve kar?s? Penelope ülkeyi y?netmek ve Penelope ile evlenerek (Odysseus'un oldu?u iddia edilmektedir) ?thaka'n?n hükümdar? olmak isteyen bir grup soylu ile mücadele etmek zorundad?rlar. ?iir Bat? edebiyat?n?n ve kültürünün temel eserlerinden say?l?r, ve antik Yunan kültürüne ???k tutan en ?nemli kaynaklardan biridir. Odysseia, Truva'n?n dü?mesinden 10 y?l sonra Odysseus'un ?thaca'ya evine d?nünceye kadar maceralar?n? anlat?r. ?lyada 10 y?l süren Truva Sava??, Odysseia, 10 y?l boyunca Odysseus'un ba??ndan ge?enlerden ibarettir. ?lyada, bir olay?, Odysseia ise bir ki?inin destan?n? anlat?r. Truva Destan?nda olaylar birbirini izleyecek ?ekilde anlat?l?r. Halbuki, Odysseia'da olaylar an?lar, geriye d?nü?ler, atlamalarla canland?r?l?r. Bat? dillerindeki Ulysses'nin türedi?i Latince Ulyxes, yi?idin bir Yunan leh?esinden al?nm?? ad?d?r. Odysseus (Ulysses, Ulis), kuzeybat? Yunanistan k?y?lar?n?n kar??s?nda bulunan ?thaca (?thaka, ?thake) adas?nda do?du. Babas?n?n ad? Learthes, anas?n?n ad? Antikleia idi. Yalan dolanda usta Autolykos'un k?z? olan Antikleia'n?n Learthes ile evlenmeden ?nce S?syphos ile yatt???, Odysseus'un bu birle?meden do?du?u da s?ylenir. Odysseus'un gen?li?i, Akhilleus'unki gibi hekim Kheiron'un yan?nda ge?ti. Birgün Odysseus, dedesi Autolykos'a konuk olarak gitti. Orada bir yaban domuzu av?na kat?ld? ve baca??ndan yaraland?. ??te, Truva Sava?? sona erdikten sonra, bir 10 y?l daha türlü maceralar ge?irerek ?thake'ye d?ndü?ünde, dad??? Eurykleia taraf?ndan ya?l? Odysseus'un tan?nmas?n? sa?layacak yara izi, bu yara izidir. Truva Sava??na kat?lmadan ?nce Odysseus, ?thake taht?na ??kt? ve kral oldu. Babas? Learthes'in o?lunu tahta nas?l ge?irdi?i pek anlat?lmaz. Ama kral olunca bir e? se?mesi olayl? oldu. Hemen dünyan?n en güzel k?z? Helena'ya talip oldu ama güzel k?z?n taliplilerinin ?oklu?undan ürkerek ondan vazge?ip, Helena'n?n babas?n?n karde?i ?karios'un k?z? Penelope'u (Penelopeia) istedi. Tyndereos'un ise akl? karmakar???k oldu?undan Odysseus'un bu yakla??m?n? ?nce be?enmedi. Odysseus ise Penelope'u almak i?in ?art?n? s?yledi. Tyndereos'u dü?tü?ü durumdan kurtaracak, buldu?u ??zümle kimse aras?nda kavga olmayacakt?. Bu arada Tyndereos'un k?z?n? türlü prensler, krallar ve sava???lar istiyorlar, türlü hediyeler g?nderiyorlard?. Tyndereos da onlar?n kalplerini k?r?p bir felakete yol a?mamaya ?al???yordu. Sonunda Tyndereos, Penelope'u vermeye raz? olunca Odysseus fikrini s?yledi: Kocas?n? Helena kendisi se?sin ama her kimi se?erse di?er tüm talipliler bunu sorun etmeyecek ve Helena'n?n kendine se?ece?i kocaya her zaman arka ??kmaya ant i?ecekti. Tyndareos, fikri be?endi ve i? k?z?n se?imine b?rak?ld?. ?karios ?nce herkesi yemin etmeye ?a??rd?. Herkes yemin etti, Odysseus dahil. Dünyan?n en güzel k?z? Helena, kocas? olarak Agamemnon'un karde?i Menelaos'u se?ti. Herkes karara sayg? duydu ve kabul etti. Herkes?e edilen bu yemin, ileride on y?l sürecek olan "Truva Sava??"na yol a?acakt?.

Eski Yunan’da, ?air Homeros’un yazd??? varsay?lan büyük bir destand?r. Bir ba?ka Homeros destan? olan ?deysseia ile birlikte, bat? edebiyat?n?n en eski ?rne?i ve tüm zamanlar?n en güzel ?iirlerinden say?l?r. Hem ?lyada hem de Oysseisa, Truva Sava?? ve bu sava?ta yer alan insanlarla ilgili s?ylenceleri dile getiren, ko?ukla yaz?lm?? destanlard?r. Tarih?iler Yunanistan’tandaki Akhalar ile Bat? Anadolu’da ya?am?? olan Truval?lar aras?ndaki bu sava??n yakla??k I.O. 1199’da ge?ti?i g?rü?ündedir. Akhalar’?n Truva’y? ku?atmalar?n?n ise 10 y?l sürdü?ü san?lmaktad?r. Bu konuda o kadar ?ok ?ykü ve s?ylence vard?r ki, hangisinin ger?ek hangisinin uydurma oldu?unu bilme olana?? yoktur. Yunanca’da Truva’n?n bir ad?n?n da ?lios olmas?ndan dolay? Homeros’un destan? ?lyada ad?n? ald?. Homeros, ya?ad??? d?nemde herkesin bu ?yküyü bildi?ini dü?ünerek, Truva ku?atmas?n? ba?tan sona anlatmaz; sava??n 10. y?l?nda sadece d?rt gün i?inde ge?en olaylar? anlat?r. Sava? neredeyse bitmek üzeredir. Truva efsanesinin bu b?lümü "As?l’?n ?fkesi" olarak bilinir. ?lyada’n?n ?yküsü: Kral Agamemnon, Truva Sava?? s?ras?nda Akhalar’?n ba?komutan?yd?. Kral?n en yi?it ve bas?na buyruk sava???s? olan As?l, kimseye boyun e?meden, kendi bildi?ince hareket ediyordu. As?l’?n sava?ta ka??rd??? Briseis ad?nda Truvali bir k?z yüzünden As?l ile Agamemnon aras?nda anla?mazl?k ??kt?. Tutsa?? olan bir k?z? babas?na geri vermeye raz? olan Agamemnon, onun yerine As?l’?n sevdi?i Briseis’i istiyordu. Agamemnon’a boyun e?mek zorunda kalan As?l, k?z? ona verdi. Ne var ki, h?rs?n? alamayarak sava?tan ?ekildi. Agamemnon’u cezaland?rmas? i?in, deniz tanr??as? olan annesi Theti?’i ?a??rd?. Theti?, tanr?lar?n kral? Zeus’tan yard?m istedi. B?ylece ?ok ge?meden yaln?zca As?l ve Agamemnon de?il, tanr? ve tanr??alarda kavgaya kar??t?. Tanr?lar?n ise kar??mas? Yunan askerlerini tela?land?rd?. Agamemnon, g?rdü?ü bir dü?e aldanarak, ordusuna art?k Yunanistan’a d?nülece?ini bildirdi. Askerlerin Truva’y? ele ge?irmeden d?nmek istemeyeceklerini sanarken, onlar?n gitmeye can att?klar?n? g?rmek onu dü? k?r?kl???na u?ratt?. Yunanl? komutanlar orduyu yeniden sava? düzenine sokmakta gü?lük ?ektiler. Bütün bu olaylar Yunan ordusunun sava? gücünü ve birli?ini zay?flatm??t?. ?ki ordu aras?nda sava? yeniden ba?larken, Paris’in karde?i Hektor, sava??n nedeni Paris’in Sparta Kral? Menelaos’un kar?s? Helen ‘i ka??rmas? oldu?una g?re, anla?mazl???n Paris ile Menelaos aras?nda d?vü?le ??zümlenmesini ?nerdi. Bu d?vü?te tam Paris yenilecekken, annesi olan tanr??a Afrodit onu son anda ka??rarak kurtard?. B?ylece ordular aras?nda bir kez daha sava? ba?lad?.
