Franz Kafka: The Process
On the very day of his thirtieth birthday, bank clerk Josef K. suddenly finds himself arrested, although no one wants to tell him why...
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) is one of the most important writers of the 20th century; Jewish-German novelist and storyteller who lived in Prague. During his lifetime he was a completely unknown author, he published little, and after his death he stipulated in his will that all his manuscripts be burned, which the executor, his friend Max Brod, did not do, but decided to publish his unfinished works, among which the most famous novels Proces, Dvorac and Amerika. Kafka writes about human alienation, an inhumane system, absurd bureaucracy, violence and repression, fear and anxiety, grotesquely and strangely, with multi-meaning parables, symbols and allegories - in short, with everything that is denoted by the generally accepted and well-known coinage: "Kafkaesque"
