Franz Kafka, In The Penal Colony - The Explorer's Verdict - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the work of the 20th century novelist and short story writer, Franz Kafka, "In The Penal Colony" It focuses specifically on the explorer's verdict and reasoned judgement upon the mode of justice and execution, the machine that inscribes the imperative a prisoner has violated upon their body. The officer attempts to get the explorer on his side by explaining the workings of the machine and the intentions behind it, but the explorer makes his condemnation of the practice clear.
