The Great Wall Of China

by Kafka, Franz

Kafka tells the tale of one of the building overseers on the Great Wall of China. As he reflects on his work, his minor bit of authority, he recognizes his part in the system, and realizes the worth of his small bit of responsibility. He speculates and yet revels in his contented position of achieving a job well done.
