Reminds me of a short story written in 1914 by Franz Kafka called "In the Penal Colony"[1]. It's very much worth a read, an English translation is available at [2]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Penal_Colony [2] http://records.viu.ca/~johnstoi/kafka/inthepenalcolony.htm SPOILER:…

Anyone interested in an extension of this thought by Catherine should read Kafka's "In the Penal Colony": https://records.viu.ca/~johnstoi/kafka/inthepenalcolony.htm
Those are two of my favorites also, especially "In the Penal Colony." For anyone looking for more, I would add "The Burrow" as great introduction to the weirdness of Kafka as well.
In the Penal Colony is a good one. His most widely known story is probably The Metamorphosis. He has a lot of short works you can get through in under 10 minutes. "A Message from the Emperor", for instance.
……奥威尔式的），但更多是因为它掩盖了他的短篇小说和格言警句，我觉得那些比他的长篇作品好得多得多——在本质上也更具神秘色彩和不可捉摸。任何时候我都宁愿选择《饥饿艺术家》、《在流刑地》或者《祖劳格言》里的一些警句，而不是他那些更出名的作品。很不幸的是，作家往往因为某一个“个人标签”而闻名，导致非典型风格的作品被边缘化到……

这让我想起弗朗茨·卡夫卡在 1914 年写的一篇短篇小说《在流刑地》[1]。非常值得一读，英文翻译可以在 [2] 找到。[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Penal_Colony [2] http://records.viu.ca/~johnstoi/kafka/inthepenalcolony.htm 剧透：……

那两篇也是我的最爱，尤其是《在流刑地》。如果有人想看更多，我会推荐加上《地洞》，它同样是领略卡夫卡那种怪诞风格的绝佳入门之作。

《在流刑地》很不错。他流传最广的故事大概是《变形记》。他有很多短篇作品，花不到 10 分钟就能读完。比如《皇帝的口谕》。
