Painting the darkness by robert goddard5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() So, along comes Robert Goddard, who seems to specialize in historical fiction involving dysfunctional, often dissolute, upper-class /aristocratic families, living (usually) in the 19th century or early 20th century. I'm also one who dislikes pretension - perhaps that's one reason why I'm so sensitive to that class system. ![]() I'm not one who enjoys historical drama of the sort that the BBC is always praised for, because I seem to be more sensitive to the inequities of the British class system than most - even those, who, like me, spent their formative years living there - despite the fact that I don't think I suffered much of its effects. Robert Goddard's novels continue to confound me: I'm not sure what attracts me to them, but attract me, they do! I always hated history in high school it was always kings, queens, battles, wars, dates - all the stuff that was boring and irrelevant to a teenage boy. ![]() The castle kafka5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() He tries to make his way there but neither the main road nor any side street seems to lead that way. In the morning, K can see the Castle up on a hill overlooking the village. K explains who he is, and they make a call to the Castle to verify. K is woken in the middle of the night by a villager who tells him he needs permission from the Castle to stay in the village. Instead he is given a cot to sleep in in the reception area. He is late, having chosen to walk through the snow and there are now no rooms available at the inn. K, a land surveyor arrives in a small village. A tale of bureaucratic paralysis, invisible barriers and a labyrinth of obstacles that splinter into more obstacles, The Castle unnerves with its depiction of a pointless, frustrating existence. Along with The Trial and Amerika, The Castle is one of the novels Franz Kafka left unfinished at his death. ![]() The world set free book5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() From the outset of his terrestrial career we find him supplementing the natural strength and bodily weapons of a beast by the heat of burning and the rough implement of stone. ![]() Man is the toolusing, fire-making animal.
