Synopsis "América (in Spanish)"

Frank Kafka escribió esta novela en una de sus mejores etapas creativas, pero no llegó a terminarla. Su título original era el de El Desaparecido, pero su amigo Max Brod, la salvó de ser quemada como quería el autor y le cambió el titulo por el que la conocemos, editándola en 1927. Como toda obra kafkiana el protagonista se ve envuelto en una serie de circunstancias y desventuras que le conducen a un destino absurdo, ni buscado ni deseado, pero ante el que se encuentra inerme. absorbente, detallista, en ocaciones inespeada, la lectura de América nos conduce al universo personal de aquel pequeño judío de Praga, de corta vida, maravillosamente dotado para la literatura y hoy considerado como el más indiscutible de los clásicos modernos.

(Prague, Austro-Hungarian Empire, 1883 - Kierling, Austria, 1924) Bohemian writer in German language. His work, among the most influential in world literature, is a pioneer in the fusion of realistic elements with fantastic ones and focuses mainly on father-son conflicts, anxiety, existentialism, physical and psychological brutality, guilt, the philosophy of the absurd, bureaucracy, and spiritual transformations. He wrote notable novels and a large number of short stories, and also left behind extensive correspondence and autobiographical writings. His unique literary style has often been associated with the artistic philosophy of existentialism and expressionism. His personal relationships also had a significant impact on his writing. The term Kafkaesque is used in Spanish to describe bizarre situations, due to their absurdity and distressing nature.
