There is something about the number 3. The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

Life has the capacity of great moments and attainment, of lives well lived, fulfilling for ourselves and for those we touch. But for others life is arduous. There is no spark to ignite the curiosity, to explore and achieve a stability and a growth to their lives. Indeed their lives, in their own eyes, become almost meaningless, their sense of themselves subsumed under a myriad of problems, whether real or imagined. Seismic events in a life might crush them; the loss of a loved one for instance. Coping is difficult, support hard to find and isolation abounds.

“Numa manhã, ao despertar de sonhos inquietantes, Gregório Samsa deu por si na cama transformado em um gigantesco inseto.” É assim que começa a história do caixeiro viajante Gregório, publicada em 1915 e que se tornou a obra mais conhecida e estudada de Kafka. O texto aborda as relações humanas em meio à sociedade burocrática, misturando absurdo, tragédia e realismo, temas recorrentes nos trabalhos deste mestre da literatura ficcional.

Als der junge Handlungsreisende Gregor Samsa eines Morgens aus seinen Träumen erwacht, findet er sich plötzlich als ungeheures Insekt wieder. Gregor, der zwar unter der Trostlosigkeit und der Härte seiner Umwelt zu leiden hat, denkt jedoch zu aller erst daran, dass er wohl zu spät zur Arbeit kommen wird. Natürlich ist auch Gregors Familie angewidert von seinem Anblick, lässt den Sohn aber solange bei sich wohnen, bis schließlich...

The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka is not just about a man turning into an insect; it is a haunting exploration of alienation, identity, and the oppressive forces of society.

A través de fragmentos y observaciones, Kafka discute sobre la decisión de edificar la muralla en secciones dispersas, en lugar de hacerlo de manera continua. Esta elección, a simple vista ilógica, se convierte en una alegoría de la comunicación humana, el aislamiento y la fragmentación de la sociedad. Con su tono característicamente introspectivo y una mirada aguda sobre el absurdo humano, Kafka transforma una hazaña arquitectónica en una meditación sobre la naturaleza humana y las complejidades de la cohesión social.

"Nie mehr Psychologie" heisst es bei Kafka in den Oktav- heften. Gleichwohl: Der Brief an den Vater ist das Dokument einer sublimen psychologischen Hellsichtigkeit. In Andeutungen schildert der Sohn das für ein ganzes Leben Unglaubliche: Den unwiderstehlichen Drang des doch so kraftvollen Vaters aus dessen geheimem Gefühl der Inferiorität seinen eigenen Sohn zu demütigen und zu depravieren.

"Seit dem ›Michael Kohlhaas‹ ist keine deutsche Novelle geschrieben worden, die mit so bewußter Kraft jede innere Anteilnahme anscheinend unterdrückt, und die doch so durchblutet ist von ihrem Autor. Die Geschichte ist einfach die, daß in der Strafkolonie ein aufsässiger Soldat auf einen irren Apparat geschnallt wird, und dort foltert man ihn. Dort wird ihm seine Strafe, die These: ›Ehre deinen Vorgesetzten‹, auf den nackten Leib geschrieben. Nadeln besorgen das." (Kurt Tucholsky)"Die ungeheure Welt, die ich im Kopfe habe. Aber wie mich befreien und sie befreien ohne zu zerreißen.

"The Great Wall of China" is a short story by Franz Kafka. While written in 1917, it was not published until 1930, seven years after his death. Its first publication occurred in Der Morgen, a German literary magazine. A year later, Max Brod included it in Beim Bau der Chinesischen Mauer, the first posthumous collection of short stories by Franz Kafka. Contained within the story is a parable that was separately published as "A Message from the Emperor" ("Eine kaiserliche Botschaft") in 1919 in the collection Ein Landarzt (A Country Doctor).

"Jackals and Arabs" is a short story by Franz Kafka, written and published in 1917. The story was first published by Martin Buber in the German monthly Der Jude. A European traveler from the North, accompanied by Arab guides, is camped in the desert. When night falls, and the Arabs are at a distance, the traveler is accosted by talking jackals. The jackals speak of an age-old hatred for Arabs, whom they associate with uncleanliness. They relate a belief passed down from their ancestors, that a man such as the protagonist would be the one to "end the quarrel which divides the world in two".

"In the Penal Colony" is a short story by Franz Kafka written in German in October 1914, revised in November 1918, and first published in October 1919. As in some of Kafka's other writings, the narrator in this story seems detached from, or perhaps numbed by, events that one would normally expect to be registered with horror. Internal clues and the setting on an island suggest Octave Mirbeau's The Torture Garden as an influence.

"A Country Doctor" is a short story written in 1917 by Franz Kafka. It was first published in the collection of short stories of the same title. In the story, a country doctor makes an emergency visit to a sick patient on a winter night. The doctor faces absurd, surreal predicaments that pull him along and finally doom him. A Country Doctor is perhaps Kafka's most fantastical or surreal work. It takes its cue from Gothic literature – it has echoes of Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne – and analysing and identifying the core 'meaning' of the story has proved tricky
