«O Processo» is the novel by Franz Kafka, published by Ediouro in paperback format (253 pages, in Portuguese).
Josef K., a bank employee, is arrested one morning without knowing the crime. He tries to defend himself before an absurd court, with endless corridors and officials who give no answers. Kafka turns the trial into a parable about alienation and the invisible power of bureaucracy.
Translation by Gervásio Álvaro; the work was originally published as «Der Prozess» in 1925. This edition belongs to the Clássicos de Bolso collection.
For readers interested in classics and oppressive plots about justice and bureaucracy.
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.
