Synopsis "Amerika: The Missing Person: A new Translation, Based on the Restored Text (The Schocken Kafka Library) (in English)"

From the author of The Metamorphosis and The Trial and one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, his first--and funniest--novel.Amerika tells the story of the young Karl Rossmann who, after an incident involving a housemaid, is banished by his parents to America. Expected to redeem himself in this magical land of opportunity, young Karl is swept up instead in a whirlwind of dizzying reversals, strange escapades, and picaresque adventures. Kafka began writing what he had entitled Der Verschollene (The Missing Person) in 1912 and wrote the last completed chapter in 1914. But it wasn't until 1927, three years after his death, that Max Brod, Kafka's friend and literary executor, edited the unfinished manuscript and published it as Amerika.

(Praga, Imperio austrohúngaro, 1883 - Kierling, Austria, 1924) Escritor bohemo en lengua alemana. Su obra, de las más influyentes de la literatura universal, es una de las pioneras en la fusión de elementos realistas con fantásticos y tiene como principales temas los conflictos paternofiliales, la ansiedad, el existencialismo, la brutalidad física y psicológica, la culpa, la filosofía del absurdo, la burocracia y las transformaciones espirituales. Escribió novelas insignes y gran número de relatos cortos, además dejó una abundante correspondencia y escritos autobiográficos. Su peculiar estilo literario ha sido comúnmente asociado con la filosofía artística del existencialismo y el expresionismo. Sus relaciones personales también tuvieron gran impacto en su escritura. El término kafkiano se usa en español para describir situaciones insólitas, por lo absurdas y angustiosas.
