Reading of "In the Penal Colony" by Franz Kafka.
The story is set in an unnamed penal colony. As in some of Kafka's other writings, the narrator in this story seems detached from or perhaps numbed by, events that one would normally expect to be registered with horror. In the Penal Colony describes the last use of an elaborate torture and execution device that carves the sentence of the condemned prisoner on his skin before letting him die, all in the course of twelve hours. As the plot unfolds, the reader learns more and more about the machine, including its origin and original justification.

Below are the key moments of the video:
00:00 In the Penal Colony
09:42 “What is the sentence?”
21:03 “Now I know all about it,”
30:16 Then the Traveller heard a cry
40:59 The Traveller had to suppress
56:55 The Soldier and the Condemned Man
