Obraz modernej doby videný očami dospievajúceho chlapca je strhujúcim dielom, v ktorom Franz Kafka brilantnou umeleckou formou rozvinul pocit ohrozenia obyčajného človeka odľudštenými spoločenskými vzťahmi. Obavy a úzkosť z modernej doby sú v jeho podaní rovnako aktuálne ako v čase vzniku románu. Cez pološero dlhých tieňov a rôznych interpretácií presvitá autor, ktorý dokázal s humorom hľadieť do tváre formujúceho sa nového sveta. Kafka bol výnimočným pozorovateľom, ale aj majstrom grotesky, aranžovania a predvádzania situácií, ktoré bez zbytočného psychologizovania mieria priamo do srdca príbehu. Vydanie: 1. slovenské vyd.
