«El proceso» is the novel by Franz Kafka, published by Bibliotex in hardcover (238 pages, in Spanish).
Josef K., a young bank employee, wakes up one morning to a visit from men who inform him that he is under arrest and that proceedings have been opened against him, though they do not reveal the reason. His attempt to understand the accusation drags him through an opaque judicial labyrinth, in which the law seems inaccessible and bureaucracy envelops everything.
Originally published as Der Prozess in 1925, this Spanish edition includes a prologue by José Saramago and a translation by Feliu Formosa; it belongs to the Millennium collection (volume 61).
Suitable for readers of twentieth-century classics and of narrative that addresses bureaucratic absurdity.
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.
