A man is brought to a penal colony, where he does not know what crime he committed. The only thing he knows is that the soldiers constantly watch him and threaten him.

The protagonist, Max B. is sentenced to death for a murder that he did not commit and the penal colony's use of torture to extract information, force confessions, and maintain order makes Kafka's tale one of the most unsettling novels ever written.

The narrator in the novel, 'Franz Kafka', is a man imprisoned for unknown crimes and told he will never be released. The narrator talks about his life before his imprisonment, his family, and the penal colony. The narrator describes his interactions with other people in the prison, how he sees himself as an animal that needs to be caged, and why he is so drawn to death.

Franz Kafka's novel, "In the Penal Colony," was written in 1914. It depicts a nightmarish post-civilization society in which all of humanity is subject to the whims of a dictator. The narrator, who may or may not be the protagonist, tells of his imprisonment where he begins to develop insanity as he tries to escape.

In his first novel, Franz Kafka creates a text unlike any other. It tells the story of Josef K., a prisoner in a penal colony who is put on trial and ultimately sentenced to death. Metaphorically, the book explores the restrictions and forces that define our lives by placing him in an absurd, surreal situation. Josef's existence is defined by his own guilt and the perspective of that guilt becomes more important than anything else as he struggles to survive.
