«Amèrica» is Franz Kafka's novel published by Cercle de Lectors in 1990, in hardback (237 pages, in Catalan).
Franz Kafka's unfinished novel follows Karl Rossmann, a young man who, after being sent away from home, arrives in the United States and finds a country that promises opportunities but is hostile to him. Between temporary jobs and encounters with morally dubious characters, Kafka's gaze combines irony and estrangement.
For readers of fiction interested in the work of Franz Kafka and in Catalan editions of his titles.
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.
