Résumé
A single volume containing Kafka's three novels. "The Trial" is a fusion of nightmare and reality, and "The Castle" a religious allegory. In "America" the innocent Karl Rossman falls gradually but unerringly into a state of often comic degradation.

The Complete Novels Of Kafka by Franz Kafka
THE TRIAL; THE CASTLE; AMERICA- Both Joseph K in THE TRIAL and K in THE CASTLE are victims of anonymous governing forces beyond their control. Both are atomised, estranged and rootless citizens deceived by authoritarian power. Whereas Joseph K is relentlessly hunted down for a crime that remains nameless, K ceaselessly attempts to enter the castle and so belong somewhere. Together these novels may be read as powerful allegories of totalitarian government in whatever guise it appears today. In AMERICA Karl Rossmann is 'packed off to America by his parents' to experience Oedipal and cultural isolation. Here, ordinary immigrants are also strange, and 'America' is never quite as real as it seems.| SKU | Non disponible |
