Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka (Praga, Imperio austrohúngaro, 3 de julio de 1883 - Kierling, Austria, 3 de junio de 1924) fue un escritor de origen judío nacido en Bohemia que escribió en alemán. Su obra está considerada una de las más influyentes de la literatura universal y está llena de temas y arquetipos sobre la alienación, la brutalidad física y psicológica, los conflictos entre padres e hijos, personajes en aventuras terroríficas, laberintos de burocracia, y transformaciones místicas.Fue autor de tres novelas, El proceso (Der Prozeß), El castillo (Das Schloß) y El desaparecido (Amerika o Der Verschollene), la novela corta La metamorfosis (Die Verwandlung) y un 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 --al que influenció-- y el expresionismo. Estudiosos de Kafka discuten sobre cómo interpretar al autor, algunos hablan de la posible influencia de alguna ideología política antiburocrática, de una religiosidad mística o de una reivindicación de su minoría etnocultural, mientras otros se fijan en el contenido psicológico de sus obras. Sus relaciones personales también tuvieron gran impacto en su escritura, particularmente su padre (Carta al padre), su prometida Felice Bauer (Cartas a Felice) y su hermana (Cartas a Ottla).El término kafkiano se usa en el idioma español para describir situaciones surrealistas como las que se encuentran en sus libros y tiene sus equivalentes en otros idiomas. Solo unas pocas de sus obras fueron publicadas durante su vida. La mayor parte, incluyendo trabajos incompletos, fueron publicados por su amigo Max Brod, quien ignoró los deseos del autor de que los manuscritos fueran destruidos.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5All of the malice and absurdity, the Stockholm syndrome, the political disinterest, and the velocity of immigrant life without the Kafkaesque beurocracy.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Stiff but oddly flowing. A satire of an immigrant's journey in pre-WWI America the most interesting part of the book was the atmosphere and people in 1910 NYC. A vibrant hub of American life Rossman's adventures would have been more interesting if he continued across country through Oklahoma and into California. And I think Kafka never visited the US so he pulled this out of the era's gestalt.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The first chapter of this unpublished novel is the Kafka short story "The Stoker." The last chapter, a fragment sometimes titled The Theater of Oklahoma, is excellent. And some of the scenes in between are very good, although they add up to a certain amount of aimlessness, possibly because the novel was never finished. Even the aimlessness is well written, frequently humorous, and unique.
Amerika begins with Karl Rossman arriving in New York harbor. The Statute of Liberty is holding a sword, which is a sign of the refracted vision of America to come. Karl meets up with his wealthy uncle, goes to a country house outside of New York, gets disowned by his uncle and embarks on his own adventures, including working at an enormous hotel. Along the way he passes through surreal and dreamlike scenes, many of them of industrialization, modern technology, and modern social relations. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The first chapter of this unpublished novel is the Kafka short story "The Stoker."

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A mediocre, mildly entertaining book in the style of and with similar strange adventures reminiscent of Don Quixote, sans the delusional knighthood. I found the main character, Karl, rather spineless and not very appealing. I kept waiting for him to surprise me and stand up for himself and everytime I thought he might, he eventually bowed down to another dominating character. I found the writing style disorganized and at times the paragraph styling was hard to maneuver through. Not my favorite 1001 Book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The least known of Kafka's novels, this is also the only of the three novels where K becomes Karl - a more likeable and positive character than K, but still one obstinately determined to frustrate readers as his life is wrenched from his control. Kafka apparently never went to America, so while there are many geographic discrepancies, the backdrop for Karl's descent into disaster after disaster is a thick mix of Eastern European hotels and servants, and dreamt of American vistas and policemen.In my view, the Trial is the best of the novels - summing up Kafka's views of our impotence in the (modern) world most completely and succinctly. It is of course also the only complete novel, and while my version of the Castle stopped mid sentence, this version of Amerika at least has some hints at where Kafka meant the novel to go - maybe. This version too is apparently a brooding translation, less upbeat than many others, as its more based on the original text. This obviously fits in with the rest of Kafka, though the last fragmants do suggest the potential for some kind of positive redemption / escape.But it still took me ages to get through - because when something bad is about to happen to Karl, and I can see an easy way out for him, he just stays stubborn and down the ladder of society he goes. But there is still something compelling about Kafka's writing, so that even while wanting to give up on the whole book as I just know it isn't going to go anywhere fun, I can't stop thinking about it. The way Karl struggles for control and seems almost unaware or just unpeturbed when it is persistently taken away from him bit by bit is kind of fascinating.So: interesting, worth reading if you are a fan, read the Trial if not read anything else by him.
