«El procés» is the novel by Franz Kafka published by Proa in 1999 in paperback (304 pages, in Catalan).
The novel narrates the arrest of Josef K. one ordinary morning, with no one explaining the crime he is accused of. From then on, his attempts to find his bearings in an oppressive and opaque legal process only isolate him further; the city and its courts become a bureaucratic labyrinth where guilt and absurdity dominate.
Catalan translation by Gabriel Ferrater. Work originally published in 1925; this Proa edition dates from 1999 and belongs to the A Tot Vent-Tela collection.
For readers of classic European fiction and absurdist literature, especially those who want to read Kafka in Catalan.
Franz Kafka was a German-language Jewish Czech writer and novelist born in Prague, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Widely regarded as a major figure of 20th-century literature, his works fuse elements of realism and the fantastique, and typically feature isolated protagonists facing bizarre or surreal predicaments and incomprehensible bureaucratic powers. The term Kafkaesque has entered the lexicon to describe situations like those depicted in his writings. His best-known works include the novella The Metamorphosis (1915) and the novels The Trial (1924) and The Castle (1926). He is also celebrated for his brief fables and aphorisms, which frequently incorporated comedic elements alongside the darker themes of his longer works. His work has widely influenced artists, philosophers, composers, filmmakers, literary historians, religious scholars, and cultural theorists.
