Poi, tentando di rinvenirne un filo logico, ho scoperto la storia di un uomo che, contraddistinto da natura e sentire profondamente particolari, per quanto si produca in accurate analisi, mai riesce a vedere il contesto circostante se non come un insieme di situazioni e personaggi grotteschi e incomprensibili. Ho sempre visto gli eroi di Kafka sforzarsi di far parte di quanto li circonda, ma mai sacrificando la propria individualità. Talora han vinti. Talora han perso. Ma non si sono mai arresi.

The capacity for "analysis" of what would be unimportant if one knew anything at all (which one doesn't), deliberately designed to confuse and tire and trap. (Unlike my boyfriend,) also has touches of sadism, the way oppressors also want love from and the voluntary compliance of those they oppress. A hard slog to get through but, like Elfriede Jelinek, rewarding precisely because of the mark it leaves. Not an ordinary book, but an experience. It will be painful during, but enriching after - an experience that will never leave you. ( ) GeorgeHunter | Sep 13, 2020 |
Una mañana cualquiera, Josef K., joven empleado de un banco, se despierta en la pensión donde reside con la extraña visita de unos hombres que le comunican que está detenido -aunque por el momento seguirá libre-. Le informan de que se ha iniciado un proceso contra él, y le aseguran que conocerá los cargos a su debido tiempo. Así comienza una de las más memorables y enigmáticas pesadillas jamás escritas. Para el protagonista, Josef K., el proceso laberíntico en el que inesperadamente se ve inmerso supone una toma de conciencia de sí mismo, un despertar que le obliga a reflexionar sobre su propia existencia, sobre la pérdida de la inocencia y la aparición de la muerte. La lectura de El proceso produce cierto «horror vacui» pues nos sumerge en una existencia absurda, en el filo de la navaja entre la vida y la nada.

The story of the mysterious indictment, trial, and reckoning forced upon Joseph K. in Franz Kafka' s "The Trial" is one of the twentieth century' s master parables, reflecting the central spiritual crises of modern life. Kafka' s method- one that has influenced, in some way, almost every writer of substance who followed him- was to render the absurd and the terrifying convincing by a scrupulous, hyperreal matter-of-factness of tone and treatment. He thereby imparted to his work a level of seriousness normally associated with civilization' s most cherished poems and religious texts.

Fanciful farce that foretells the injustices of a totalitarian state and its inevitable tragedy. So well imagined and written from the prospective of a fallible character charged and arrested for never revealed crime. (
