Franz Kafka was born to Jewish parents in Bohemia in 1883. Kafka s father was a luxury goods retailer who worked long hours and as a result never became close with his son. Kafka s relationship with his father greatly influenced his later writing and directly informed his Brief an den Vater (Letter to His Father). Kafka had a thorough education and was fluent in both German and Czech. As a young man, he was hired to work at an insurance company where he was quickly promoted despite his desire to devote his time to writing rather than insurance. Over the course of his life, Kafka wrote a great number of stories, letters, and essays, but burned the majority of his work before his death and requested that his friend Max Brod burn the rest. Brod, however, did not fulfill this request and published many of the works in the years following Kafka s death of tuberculosis in 1924. Thus, most of Kafka s works were published posthumously, and he did not live to see them recognized as some of the most important examples of literature of the twentieth century. Kafka s works are considered among the most significant pieces of existentialist writing, and he is remembered for his poignant depictions of internal conflicts with alienation and oppression. Some of Kafka s most famous works include The Metamorphosis, The Trial and The Castle.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut Ungelesenes, vollständiges Exemplar; in sehr gutem Zustand, leichte Lagerspuren, als Mängelexemplar gekennzeichnet -»Jemand mußte Josef K. verleumdet haben, denn ohne daß er etwas Böses getan hätte, wurde er eines Morgens verhaftet.«So beginnt die Geschichte des Josef K., dem an seinem 30. Geburtstag von einer mysteriösen Behörde der Prozeß gemacht werden soll. Und je mehr der Bankbeamte seine Unschuld verteidigen will, um so tiefer sinkt er ins Gestrüpp undurchschaubarer Gesetze und menschlicher Verwirrungen. Josef K. muß schließlich erkennen, daß der »Sinn dieser großen Organisation, dieser korrupten Bande«, der Sinn dieses geheimnisvollen Prozesses die »Sinnlosigkeit« ist.Der Prozeß ist ein großes Werk der Weltliteratur. Die Bedeutung für das 20. Jahrhundert kann nicht überschätzt werden: Denn der Prozeß, den Josef K. über sich ergehen lassen muß, ist auch ein Prozeß, den er - unschuldig-schuldig - sich selbst macht und verlieren muß. 282 pp. Deutsch.
