In the Penal Colony by Franz Kafka

The story focuses on the Traveler, who has just arrived in an island penal colony and is encountering its brutal execution machine for the first time.
"In the Penal Colony" ("In der Strafkolonie") (also translated as "In the Penal Settlement") is a short story by Franz Kafka written in German in October 1914, revised in November 1918, and first published in October 1919.
I tried to using a more natural delivery for this read, as if I were reading the story to myself. I am still trying to find my voice but I like how this one came out, especially in the first portions of the recording.

Thank you, beautiful narrating

Good--a note on pronunciation: you pronounce Commandant as though it is spoken like the word "commandment" (short "a" sound, accent second syllable). There is no standard pronunciation of "Commandant" like that, in British or USA accents. A Commandant (accent first syllable) is a person in command.
