«El Proceso» is the novel by Franz Kafka, published by Mestas Ediciones in paperback (249 pages, in Spanish).
Josef K. is arrested one morning without knowing why. From then on he experiences an absurd and labyrinthine judicial process: lawyers, judges, ushers and guards form an oppressive machinery that never reveals the crime. Guilt grows in the protagonist until it completely subdues him.
It was published posthumously in 1925, from the manuscripts that Max Brod rescued from Kafka. The edition is complete, from the Clásicos Universales collection, with illustrations by Bengt Fosshag.
Recommended for readers of classics, philosophy and law, as well as for those seeking a story about absurdity and bureaucratic alienation.
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.
