Una ma�ana cualquiera, Josef K., joven empleado de un banco, se despierta en la pensi�n donde reside con la extra�a visita de unos hombres que le comunican que est� detenido -aunque por el momento seguir� libre-. Le informan de que se ha iniciado un proceso contra �l, y le aseguran que conocer� los cargos a su debido tiempo. As� comienza una de las m�s memorables y enigm�ticas pesadillas jam�s escritas. Para el protagonista, Josef K., el proceso laber�ntico en el que inesperadamente se ve inmerso supone una toma de conciencia de s� mismo, un despertar que le obliga a reflexionar sobre su propia existencia, sobre la p�rdida de la inocencia y la aparici�n de la muerte. La lectura de El proceso produce cierto �horror vacui� pues nos sumerge en una existencia absurda, en el filo de la navaja entre la vida y la nada.

About the Author

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.
