First Lines: Franz Kafka - The Castle

It was late evening when K. arrived.

First Lines: Franz Kafka - The Trial

Someone must have been spreading slander about Josef K., for one morning he was arrested, though he had done nothing wrong.

Franz Kafka: The Departure

I ordered that my horse be fetched from the barn. The servant didn't understand. I went to the barn myself, saddled and mounted the horse. In the distance I heard a trumpet blow, I asked him what it meant. He knew nothing and had heard nothing. At the gate he stopped me and asked: "Where is the master riding to?" "I do not know", I said. "Just away from here, just away from here. Evermore away from here, that is the only way I can reach my destination."
"So you know your destination", he asked. "Yes", I replied, "that is what I just had said. Away from here - that is my destination."

(translated by W.K.)

Miniatures #13

It was very early in the morning, the streets clean and deserted, I was on my way to the railroad station. As I compared the tower clock with my watch I realized it was already much later than I had thought, I had to hurry, the shock of this discovery made me feel uncertain of the way, I was not very well acquainted with the town yet, fortunately there was a policeman nearby, I ran to him and breathlessly asked him the way. He smiled and said: 'from me you want to learn the way?' 'Yes,' I said, 'since I cannot find it myself.' 'Give it up, give it up,' said he, and turned away with a great sweep, like someone who wants to be alone with his laughter.

Franz Kafka: Give It Up

Miniatures #4

For we are like tree trunks in the snow. In appearance they lie sleekly and a little push should be enough to set them rolling. No, it can't be done, for they are firmly wedded to the ground. But see, even that is only appearance.
