Durante el otoño de 1912, en Praga, escribió Franz Kafka (1883-1924) La metamorfosis, la peripecia subterránea y literal de Gregor Samsa, un viajante de comercio que al despertarse una mañana "de un sueño lleno de pesadillas se encontró en su cama convertido en un bicho enorme". En pocos libros de Kafka queda tan explícito y tan nítido su mundo como en La metamorfosis, en la que el protagonista, convertido en bestia, sumido en la más absoluta...

"Are you an unusually persevering and persistent person? Or, like most of us, do you sometimes find it difficult to stick to the job until it is done? What is your usual experience in this respect?
Is it not this, that you work steadily along until of a sudden you become conscious of a feeling of weariness, crying 'Enough!' for the time being, and that you then yield to the impulse to stop?"

Description
A book to guide mothers in the formation of early good habits in their offspring, should be the result of long observation and much experiment on these points, but more especially of a thorough understanding of human physiology. It should not consist so much of the conceits of a single brain—perhaps half turned—as of the logical deductions of severe science, and facts gleaned from the world's history.

Her cheeks are tinted with the glow that comes from good, well-circulated blood, her eyes are bright and lovely because her mind is so, and...
