Di Franz Kafka
4/5

Info su questo ebook
Pubblicato nel 1925, Il processo è considerato un capolavoro assoluto per la straordinaria capacità di Kafka di analizzare la psicologia di coloro che, innocenti, si trovano erroneamente coinvolti in un procedimento giudiziario.
La storia assurda e surreale di come il giovane protagonista, Josef K., un semplice procuratore bancario, viene arrestato senza poter conoscere l’imputazione a proprio carico. Impossibilitato a dimostrare la propria estraneità ai fatti K., arriva a convincersi di essere veramente colpevole.L’eterna e universale trappola che attanaglia il genere umano, un romanzo misterioso, enigmatico, beffardo che inevitabilmente suscita nel lettore un profondo turbamento.
In questo affresco inquietante, Kafka descrive problematiche tristemente attuali: l’alienazione e il conseguente annichilimento dell’individuo, di fronte ai contorti meccanismi della burocrazia.
Franz Kafka (Praga 1883 – Kierling 1924). Tra le sue opere: La metamorfosi, Il castello, America.
Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka was born to Jewish parents in Bohemia in 1883. Kafka’s father was a luxury goods retailer who worked long hours and as a result never became close with his son. Kafka’s relationship with his father greatly influenced his later writing and directly informed his Brief an den Vater (Letter to His Father). Kafka had a thorough education and was fluent in both German and Czech. As a young man, he was hired to work at an insurance company where he was quickly promoted despite his desire to devote his time to writing rather than insurance. Over the course of his life, Kafka wrote a great number of stories, letters, and essays, but burned the majority of his work before his death and requested that his friend Max Brod burn the rest. Brod, however, did not fulfill this request and published many of the works in the years following Kafka’s death of tuberculosis in 1924. Thus, most of Kafka’s works were published posthumously, and he did not live to see them recognized as some of the most important examples of literature of the twentieth century. Kafka’s works are considered among the most significant pieces of existentialist writing, and he is remembered for his poignant depictions of internal conflicts with alienation and oppression. Some of Kafka’s most famous works include The Metamorphosis, The Trial and The Castle.

- Valutazione: 3 su 5 stelle3/5My second Kafka, and I am now pretty sure he is indeed not my cup of tea. I think the ideas in his works are interesting, the surrealism/absurdity is something I enjoy at other times and it does work, but somehow I just find it quite tedious to read in Kafka. The story-lines intrigue me, but getting through them takes effort. I think he's worth reading, but at the same time I hesitate to recommend him.
- Valutazione: 2 su 5 stelle2/5Well, I read it. A very strange story. I found it hard to care about K and his problems.
- Valutazione: 3 su 5 stelle3/5First thing.. this book was unfinished and published after his death, and it reads that way. I can't imagine this is what Kafka would have wanted the world to read. But here we are. The only thing I would like to add to what has been written already is that our protagonist K's behavior is rarely mentioned. He's an idiot. The system he is in is oppressive and capricious but his own behavior is inexplicable and frustrating. I can appreciate this book for its historical context in literature but it's not a "good read".
- Valutazione: 2 su 5 stelle2/5I started reading this aaaages ago, and finally finished it by skimming through. I don't know what it is -- maybe the translation, maybe just Kafka's style -- but I found it more infuriating and frustrating than anything. I enjoyed the dark humour, but I don't think this style of completely absurd situation is for me, and I couldn't judge on the quality of Kafka's writing from this translation. Maybe if, someday, I learn German...
It probably doesn't help that I'm in bed recovering from food poisoning, so perhaps you should take my opinion with a pinch of salt. Still, however important it is in a literary sense, I can't say I enjoyed it. - Valutazione: 4 su 5 stelle4/5Kafka writes in such simple German, yet he uses the language in subtle ways. For those who can, you should definitely read the German version.
- Valutazione: 4 su 5 stelle4/5As the Trial is somewhat of a classic, I really don't have much to add. Overall I really liked the book and its sense of paranoia and futility in the face of bureaucracy. If you are familiar at all with Kafka, you'll neither be surprised nor disappointed.
- Valutazione: 1 su 5 stelle1/5I hated this book. I know it's all meaningful and symbolic, but I hated the main character so much that I didn't care what happened to him! I kept dragging my feet on finishing this book and had to force myself to finish. Well, I'm done. Glad that's over.
- Valutazione: 4 su 5 stelle4/5Good book, very well-written. The style of composition sterile, the story twisting and elaborating, the air suffocating, which serves the point well. Kafka is still beyond my grasp though =.= he makes me fall asleep.
- Valutazione: 5 su 5 stelle5/5Kafka's clever take on complex beauracracy is a fascinating if challenging read. Waiting to have the crime he is accused of revealed as we read is in itself a ploy that leads to the reader experiencing a small measure of the ever increasing frustration and bewilderment that the character is experiencing. My first read of a Kafka novel, and now a confirmed fan.
- Valutazione: 3 su 5 stelle3/5There was something about this book that kept me from connecting with it in an emotional way, perhaps if this is a life experience that you can relate to on a personal level this story would quickly entice you, if not there is no real structural criticism to novel that is overtly distracting. Yet I found myself wandering and wondering subconsciously if there were allusions or aphorisms that i was not privilege too. This is still an excellent read, don't over think it.
