«Il Processo» is the novel by Franz Kafka published by Rizzoli in paperback (304 pages, in Italian).
The novel narrates the arrest of Josef K., a bank employee detained without knowing the reason. He becomes immersed in a labyrinthine judicial process, with hearings, ambiguous lawyers, and a court whose rules he never comes to understand. The work reflects the powerlessness of the individual before bureaucracy and power.
It belongs to the BUR Classici collection, with an introduction by Ferruccio Masini and a translation by Elena Franchetti. Written in 1914, it was published in 1925, a year after Kafka's death.
A work for readers of European classics and narrative with a philosophical background.
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.
