Although there may well be one objective and real universe, most of us can only see the world from our own point of view, and that might be radically different from every other point of view. In this audiobook, we explore the points of view of very different observers: A woman whose husband believes she is an android, a conspiracy analyst, an angel, an astronaut, and doctors faced with difficult moral dilemmas. Are these stories connected in some way? Is there a pattern? Listen to Points of View and find out!

"La tana" è uno degli ultimi racconti di Franz Kafka, scritto durante la sua permanenza a Berlino nel 1923, all'incirca sei mesi prima della morte. Il racconto narra dei continui disperati sforzi intrapresi da un protagonista - per metà umano e per metà animale - di costruirsi un'abitazione perfetta, così da potersi proteggere efficacemente dai suoi nemici invisibili. In tutto il testo (rimasto incompiuto) vi è l'idea ossessiva di riuscir a realizzare una complessa opera architettonica, e dalla paura d'esser attaccato da potenziali nemici i quali però non danno mai prova d'esistenza reale.

El autor presentaba la edición italiana de este libro, que tuvo un éxito extraordinario, con estas palabras: Ésta no es una novela. Ni siquiera es un cuento. Ésta es una historia.

Se podría decir que es una historia de amor. Pero si solamente fuera eso, no habría valido la pena contarla. En ella están entremezclados deseos, y dolores, que no tienen un nombre exacto que los designe. Esto es algo muy antiguo.

This book is sort of written like a preppers version of a school paper entitled “What Did You Do on Your COVID 19 Summer Vacation?” It provides an apocalyptic fiction author’s attempt to give his prepper perspective of the pandemic, quarantine, lock downs, stupid mask rules, power mad governors, and how this all ties into the strife America is facing and how he is preparing himself for it.
