Franz Kafka - Metamorphosis

The Metamorphosis, first published in 1915, begins with Gregor Samsa, the hero of the story, finding himself transformed into a giant insect one morning, and continues by describing the changes in his life. The work, which is considered one of Kafka's most popular works in the literary world, gives the reader an idea about "society's treatment of those who are different" in a simple language, while on the other hand, it reveals the family structures in petty bourgeois societies down to the smallest detail. With Metamorphosis, Kafka discussed the transformation of a human into an insect with the social and philosophical effects of this process rather than an abstract concept. Kafka once again fascinated the reader with Gregor's mother, father, sister Grete, servants, boss, other characters he created, and the diversity of themes.

Franz Kafka - Letter to the Father

This book is actually a letter from Kafka that never reached its owner. Franz Kafka met and became engaged to Prague secretary Julie Wohryzek in Schelesen, where he went to rest in 1919. While the Letter to the Father expresses the author's feelings and thoughts towards his father, who opposed this marriage decision, it also offers us clues from Kafka's life story. The work, which is adorned with details about Franz Kafka's writing and his own existence, also has a documentary quality when compared to his other works based on fictional stories. The Letter to the Father, which is based on the conflict between father and son, is actually Kafka's reproach to the concepts of strong and weak that determine bourgeois societies. The work is considered one of the greatest confessions in the history of 20th century literature.

Nikolay Gogol - Diary of a Madman

Gogol, one of the founders of Russian realism, tells about a schizophrenic trying to hold on to life in "Diary of a Madman" and the general structure of Russian society by combining fantastic elements with his observation ability and subtle irony in his stories "The Nose" and "The Overcoat". Considered the source of inspiration for important Russian writers, Gogol wrote three plays during his lifetime and many of his works were adapted into plays after his death. "Diary Notebook of a Madman", which was staged in our country and had great repercussions around the world, is one of them. Gogol, who realistically reveals the functioning of the Russian bureaucracy while opening different windows to the readers, is perhaps best summarized by Dostoyevsky with the words "We all came out of Gogol's 'The Overcoat'."

Tolstoy - What Does a Man Live By?

Russian writer Tolstoy, in addition to being a great writer with his stories in What Does a Man Live With, also highlights his identity as a philosopher and educator by holding a mirror to society. This work of Tolstoy is a source that remains up-to-date in every period. All the stories in the book deal with the concepts of goodness, greed, ambition and love, which is a unifying force in every sense of the essence of man. On the other hand, it offers all readers, young or old, the opportunity to look at themselves from a step outside and ask perhaps the most important questions of life. What is inside a person? What has not been given to man? What does a person live with?

Goethe - The Sorrows of Young Werther

The Sorrows of Young Werther, one of the greatest love classics and masterpieces of all time, deeply affected the entire German society, especially young people, immediately after its first publication in 1774, and caused many suicides in Germany in those years. While The Sorrows of Young Werther succeeded in making Goethe the pioneer of the Sturm und Drang movement of German Literature, it became a cult work of romantic European readers with its passionate and self-destructive protagonist, adapted into parodies, operas, poems and theater plays. has arrived.

Young Werther tells his soul to his readers through his delightful and at the same time hopeless love letters and his unrequited love. In a way, his story opens the doors of "confession" literature, revealing Goethe's life and his sad, unfinished love story.

Although the novel is a love story, it is also important in terms of the social criticism it contains. The Sorrows of Young Werther can also be read as the manifesto of a cornered young individual in the 18th century.

Virginia Woolf - A Room of One's Own

A Room of One's Own, which is called a feminist article of the literary world, manages to be one of the important books that the women's movement has not put down. It answers the pressure exerted by men on women and the ever-present "Equality" debate by quoting from history.

Explaining the connection between "women and literature" with a fictional writing and characters, Woolf also discusses the place of women in society throughout the historical process, in her work where she explains why women write less poetry or why they cannot be as creative as men. In her work, which contains interesting findings and different perspectives on the world of women, Woolf tries to cover the wall in her room with the answers she gives and calls out to women: “Earn money, create a separate room of your own and free time. And write, write without worrying about what men will say!”
