5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, December 18, 1998

By A Customer

It amazes me how Kafka has caught the American spirit so well. Since the end of World War II, Ameirican culture has become increasng hedonistic at the expense of other nations and even our own poor. But that spirit is reflected especially so in the 1990's where we seem to have forgotten what it means to look out for one another, and have lost the meaning of true hospitality and human empathy. Perhaps, Tom Brokaw in his new book, The Greatest Generation, is right; not since our grandparents has the nation cared for it's own in such an unselfish manner. That sense of caring seems to have been lost to us today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spellings, September 14, 2003

By	Timothy L. Atkinson "TheWhiteElephant" (Hollywood, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'd like to point ut to those who critocized Kafka's spelling of America that country spellings are actually different depending on where your from. If you read about where Kafka was from and look on a map you'll see it spelled as Prague. However if you go to Prague and look on one of their maps they actually spell it Praha. Therefore we are just as guilty.

4.0 out of 5 stars I Would have given 5 Stars, But...
I know Kafka was not American. I know that he wasn't even British and that he didn't speak English. He was Czech. He wrote in German. Read more
