Franz Kafka, página 10 de 48

Josef K., an ordinary bank clerk, is accused of a crime he did not commit, whose nature is never revealed to him. As he tries to defend his innocence amid a labyrinthine world of anonymous bureaucrats, stifling courtrooms and casual brutality, he becomes increasingly uncertain of his fate and spirals towards destruction. Kafka's gripping, unnerving parable about the nature of terror and the futility of human life is at once nightmarish and chillingly real.

El volumen Relatos de Franz Kafka, con prólogo del prestigioso intelectual cubano Ambrosio Fornet, es una selección de la edición publicada por nuestra editorial en 1968. Las narraciones aquí reunidasdentro de las que se encuentra, por supuesto, La metamorfosis, dan cuenta de la singular poetica kafkiana.

This collection of new translations brings together the small proportion of Kafka''s works that he himself thought worthy of publication. It includes Metamorphosis, his most famous work, an exploration of horrific transformation and alienation; Meditation, a collection of his earlier studies; The Judgement, written in a single night of frenzied creativity; The Stoker, the first chapter of a novel set in America and a fascinating occasional piece, and The Aeroplanes at Brescia, Kafka''s eyewitness account of an air display in 1909. Together, these stories reveal the breadth of Kafka''s literary vision and the extraordinary imaginative depth of his thought.

QUESTO LIBRO È A LAYOUT FISSO.Pubblicato nel 1925, Il processo e considerato un capolavoro assoluto per la straordinaria capacita di Kafka di analizzare la psicologia di coloro che, innocenti, si trovano erroneamente coinvolti in un procedimento giudiziario.La storia assurda e surreale di come il giovane protagonista, Josef K., un semplice procuratore bancario, viene arrestato senza poter conoscere limputazione a proprio carico. Impossibilitato a dimostrare la propria estraneita ai fatti K., arriva a convincersi di essere veramente colpevole.Leterna e universale trappola che attanaglia il genere umano, un romanzo misterioso, enigmatico, beffardo che inevitabilmente suscita nel lettore un profondo turbamento.In questo affresco inquietante, Kafka descrive problematiche tristemente attuali: lalienazione e il conseguente annichilimento dellindividuo, di fronte ai contorti meccanismi della burocrazia.Franz Kafka (Praga 1883 Kierling 1924).
