- In the Penal Colony (In der Strafkolonie) (also translated as "In the Penal Settlement") is a short story by Franz Kafka written in German in October 1914, revised in November 1918, and first published in October 1919.
The story is set in an unnamed penal colony located in Europe. Internal clues and the setting on an island suggest Octave Mirbeau's The Torture Garden as an influence. 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. In the Penal Colony describes the last use of an elaborate torture and execution device that carves the sentence of the condemned prisoner on his skin in a script before letting him die, all in the course of twelve hours. As the plot unfolds, the reader learns more and more about the machine, including its origin, and original justification.

Kafka must have been a troubled soul. His work fascinates and disturbs.
Don't exempt yourself, it's a human thing 😅😅 in my opinion
Just wanna say how good this reader is. Great voice.
This is the story that influenced Ian Curtis of Joy Division to write "Colony". Ian Curtis was a big fan of Franz Kafka.
Existance well what does it matter? The past is now part of my future and the present is well out of hand.
This little story disturbed the hell out of me when I was younger.
I feel it is important for you to try to regain your sensitivity and awareness at all costs. Because if this story doesn't disturb you as it did when you were young then something serious has been lost. [[Maybe some of the features of the machine never completely registered with you like the Machine's features which are designed to keep the condemned prisoner alive for until 12 hours.]]
@@lingcod91 You're overthinking it.
Such an extraordinary and influential writer
I read this for the first time in the late 90s in junior high, I love Kafka. This would make a very visual short film, imagine it in anime 🤔😁🙌🏻

One man's take on this story.
Like a shaft style show?
I've seen an “animated” video (not anime if you mean the Japanese comic style) of this story & yeah it was pretty gruesome. There's also a graphic novel version that i found in a public library.
Get your search engines running & enjoy this particular Rabbit Hole 😁🤓📚📼📺🎞🖥
There's a really good animation of A Country Doctor that's very bizarre. Not anime, but it is Japanese.
Thanks!
Shear madness. Very enjoyable though. Thank you.
If you related to it you are mad too😅😅
Thanks
Franz Kafka, you great 'n all, and I'ma let you finnish, but Dr. Seuss wrote some of the greatest books of ALL TIME!
Two of my top favs mate
Go fuck yourself with that great iron spike.
Fuck that racist cartoonist.
Runs with Bulls periodt
now that is a fun one
this is my first expierance with Kafka & i have to say i like this story i hope the rest of his work is as Good !👍👍👍👍👍
They're godly, did you like them
You have read Metamorphosis by now I hope. The one thing that Kafka did well is being imaginative. It makes me feel closer to the Gods that created in their image even though they gave us a smaller brain in comparison to theirs. Well some of us stretch theirs to good use and F Kafka is one of those. I was cleaning as I listened to this and a job that takes me 1.5 hours took me half an hour less as recreated this scene in my mind. Brilliant. What surprised me is how I used my emotions to accommodate the good, the bad, and the ugly of humanity.😂
Thank you....
Kafka had the concept of irony down pat.
This translation loses something from kafka's intent. Greater understanding and enjoyment will be gained from Stanley Appelbaum interpretation.
ok what.
Story little message infinite 😮

I admit understand y the officer got in the machine...??
The officer was guilty of unjust punishment, because the Traveller's opinion would make the machine go away. So for his last punishment, he would punish himself for being unjust.
Ironically it was the last punishment before the machine broke, which wasn't the unjust punishment, but an instant, just execution.
If the machine was wrong, then the officer thought he deserved torture from the machine. Proving the machine was just.
Yet, because of the malfunction, the machine performed a more civilized punishment, humane execution.
