Story2
Il nome di Kafka evoca all’istante atmosfere cupe e claustrofobiche, ma nel caso della “Relazione all’Accademia” siamo in un clima del tutto diverso. In questo straordinario “monologo” a parlare a un parterre di scienziati, è un anziano scimmione. Chi sa quante volte Franz, durante la sua adolescenza, è andato a vedere uno spettacolo circense con i suoi animali “sapienti”. Ma mentre i suoi coetanei ridevano e si divertivano, quanto diverso doveva essere il suo sguardo quando incrociava quello di qualche scimmia addomesticata.

Seu discurso se inspirou no emblemático Relatório a uma academia, de Franz Kafka, em que um macaco diz a uma assembleia de cientistas que a subjetividade humana é uma jaula como a que o aprisionou.

Este relato corto narra la historia del mono Pedro el rojo, relatada por él mismo. A través de un informe escrito a una academia científica, el mono explica sus orígenes, cómo fue capturado y el duro proceso de aprendizaje que se ha visto obligado a seguir. Pedro el rojo es un simio humanizado, consciente de su situación, con la inteligencia suficiente para poder hablar y escribir como una persona cultivada y bien educada. A través de este mono convertido en señor, Kafka pretende dejar en evidencia la irracionalidad que se esconde tras el supuesto pensamiento racional y científico que acata la sociedad.

In Cured, Dr. Rediger digs down to the root causes of illness, showing how to create an environment that sets the stage for healing. He reveals the patterns behind healing and lays out the physical and mental principles associated with recovery: first, we need to physically heal our diet and our immune systems. Next, we need to mentally heal our stress response and our identities. Through rigorous research, Dr. Rediger shows that much of our physical reality is created in our minds. Our perception changes our experience, even to the point of changing our physical bodies.

Written by Ambrose Bierce, and narrated by Mike Vendetti, this story concerns a man from the ancient city of Carcosa who awakens from a sickness-induced sleep to find himself lost in an unfamiliar wilderness. Carcosa was subsequently borrowed by Robert W. Chambers as the setting of his fictional play, The King in Yellow, and features heavily in many of the stories in the book of the same name. These concepts were further expanded upon by H. P. Lovecraft in his Cthulhu Mythos stories.

New translation of The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. Poor Gregor Samsa! This guy wakes up one morning to discover that he's become a "monstrous vermin". The first pages of The Metamorphosis where Gregor tries to communicate through the bedroom door with his family, who think he's merely being lazy, is vintage screwball comedy. Indeed, scholars and readers alike have delighted in Kafka's gallows humor and matter-of-fact handling of the absurd and the terrifying.

Nikolai Gogol (1809-1852) was a pre-eminent Ukrainian-born story writer. He is particularly famous for those stories which veer in the direction of surrealism and the grotesque. "The Nose" is a classic example of this genre. The story opens with the barber, Ivan Yakovlevitch at breakfast. Things take an odd turn when Yakovlevitch finds a disembodied nose hidden in his bread roll. Yakovlevitch is at pains to rid himself as quickly as he can of the nose, which he recognizes as belonging to one of his clients, Major Kovalev.

Deep down here by the dark water lived old Gollum, a small slimy creature. I don’t know where he came from, nor who or what he was. He was Gollum—as dark as darkness, except for two big round pale eyes in his thin face. He had a little boat, and he rowed about quite quietly on the lake; for lake it was, wide and deep and deadly cold.

Grab your sisters and cinch those corsets! This is a retelling of Jane Austen’s beloved Pride and Prejudice like no other, performed by a remarkable new cast with an original score by Grammy-nominated composer, Morgan Kibby. Elizabeth Bennet has no intention of settling for any man, or frankly any life, that isn’t lived entirely on her terms. She will marry for love, dance when she wants to dance, and—if at all possible—find a quiet spot to read without being interrupted.
