Beschreibung

A crime without a name, a castle without access and an exile adrift in America.
Kafka's three great novels in one essential collection.

Kafka's characters are victims of forces beyond their control: estranged, rootless citizens deceived by authority and trapped in systems they cannot understand. Filled with claustrophobic description and existential force, these novels create a world at once absurd, comic and terrifyingly recognisable.
In The Trial, Joseph K is hunted for a crime that remains nameless. The Castle follows K in his ceaseless attempts to enter the castle and to belong somewhere. In Amerika, Karl Rossmann finds himself isolated and confused when he is packed off to America by his parents.
The Complete Novels is a landmark collection for readers of literary fiction, dystopian fiction and modern classics, bringing together Kafka's enduring visions of bureaucracy, alienation, exile and power.
THE CLASSIC TRANSLATION BY WILLA AND EDWIN MUIR

Über den Autor
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was born into a Jewish family in Prague. In 1906 he received a doctorate in jurisprudence, and for many years he worked a tedious job as a civil service lawyer investigating claims at the State Worker's Accident Insurance Institute. He never married, and published only a few slim volumes of stories during his lifetime. Meditation, a collection of sketches, appeared in 1912; The Stoker: A Fragment in 1913; Metamorphosis in 1915; The Judgement in 1916; In the Penal Colony in 1919; and A Country Doctor in 1920. The great novels were not published until after his death from tuberculosis: America, The Trial and The Castle.
