Title: Which one of Franz Kafka's short stories do you like best? Post by: Jon N/A on September 22, 2010, 08:48:19 PM We're doing a research to see which one of his short stories you like most to discuss it's adaptation process to a not-game over at Contests & Studies sub forum here.
Of course it's a lot of options and I'm sure most people (including me) haven't heard of 90% of it! But I just put them there in case anyone have read one of them ;) Title: Re: Which one of Franz Kafka's short stories do you like best?

Any chance of having the original German titles? Or links to the stories? I took the names from this page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Franz_Kafka) in wikipedia.Some of them had no German names so I guess you can check Google Translate to see if the translated name is familiar or not.I didn't do it myself because I was worried if the translated name wasn't the same as the original German name, doing it would lead to confusion.

Post by: QXD-me on September 26, 2010, 10:57:50 PM Despite not having read any of them, I looked at some of the wikipedia pages and 'Blumfeld, an Elderly Bachelor' seemed pretty interesting. I only read a general outline of the plot though, and the story was never finished, so I'm not sure how well it would actually translate.
Apparently someone's already made a game out of 'The Metamorphasis' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Mojo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Mojo). Title: Re: Which one of Franz Kafka's short stories do you like best? Post by: Jon N/A on October 14, 2010, 01:24:19 PM I managed to find a great collection of all kafka's short stories with a great Persian translation and I read "Blumfeld" and it was awesome! thought it was unfinished it was really understandable ... and I found an English translation online here (http://www.phespirit.info/words/blumfeld/) for you to read, check it out
Quote Apparently someone's already made a game out of 'The Metamorphosis' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Mojo. yeah but it's a very very very (!) loose adaptation of it and they have changed the whole story.it's not Kafkaesque at all Title: Re: Which one of Franz Kafka's short stories do you like best? Post by: QXD-me on October 18, 2010, 06:08:39 PM Cool, I'll check that out soon.
I found another game based on Kafka (I stumbled across it by chance). Again, I haven't played it yet, but I plan to soon. http://www.indiegames.com/blog/2010/05/browser_game_pick_before_the_l.html (http://www.indiegames.com/blog/2010/05/browser_game_pick_before_the_l.html) |
