Franz Kafka "Apple after Apple" From "The Metamorphosis" Literary discussion animation

Heres a virtual movie of the celebrated Czech novelist Franz Kafka reading an extract "Apple after Apple" from his lSHORT WORK OF FICTION "The Metamorphosis" first published in 1915
The Metamorphosis (German: Die Verwandlung) is a novella by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It is often cited as one of the seminal works of short fiction of the 20th century and is widely studied in colleges and universities across the western world. The story begins with a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, waking to find himself transformed into a monstrous insect-like creature.

Franz Kafka (German pronunciation: [ˈfʁants ˈkafka]; 3 July 1883 -- 3 June 1924) was a culturally influential German-language novelist. Contemporary critics and academics, such as Vladimir Nabokov,[2] regard Kafka as one of the best writers of the 20th century. The term "Kafkaesque" has become part of the English language.

Kafka was born to middle class German-speaking Jewish parents in Prague, Bohemia, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The house in which he was born, on the Old Town Square next to Prague's Church of St Nicholas, now contains a permanent exhibition devoted to the author.

Most of Kafka's writing, a large fraction of which being unfinished at the time of his death, was published posthumously

@RayasNegroOvejas The Kafka I met and recorded in 1905 was a perfect English gentleman and very confident after a couple of glasses of my homebrew Schnapps vodka punch ha ha.

This can't be Kafka reading, can it? I mean his english is very good for a german-language man in the late 1800- early 1900; he wasn't published before his death and he was, what I have read, shy and uncertain - He sounds quite sure in this.
