The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. ![]() Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. numinous and prophetic." - New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." - Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. ![]() I don’t remember if the game modes were any good, though.Back Cover: "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. That being said, BR3 and it’s multiple variants have more characters and updated modern graphics if you’re more interested in that, plus new mechanics on top of that. Also, there’s a story mode that is fun to go through. The visuals hold up really well for PS1 and even has 16:9 support at 60 FPS. That being said, I think the Rave mechanic from BR1 got removed, so BR2 feels the most traditional out of the games. You can’t really go wrong with BR2 ‘cause it’s a 3D fighting game that actually feels good to play, in the sense that it didn’t feel so stiff and slow, which was kind of a rarity then. It’s the one that sold the best, and where the art style and characters are given some actual style compared to the first game. It’s the most beloved of them all and what people remember the most. I would say Bloody Roar 2 is the best ‘cause it’s the safest in the series. Ask anyone who has played or heard of Bloody Roar, and usually the answer is Bloody Roar 2 or Bloody Roar 3 (or the different variants of BR3), and those are the most valid choices ‘cause it’s not Bloody Roar 4.
