«El Proceso» is the novel by Franz Kafka, published by Plutón Ediciones in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
Josef K. is arrested one morning without knowing the crime he is accused of and becomes trapped in an opaque judicial web. His attempt to defend himself against an accusation that is never clearly formulated, among ambiguous lawyers and officials, becomes an allegory of alienation in the face of bureaucracy.
Originally Der Prozess, it was written between 1914 and 1915 and published in 1925 after Kafka's death. This Spanish edition, translated by Alaric Duckass, is part of the Eterna Collection.
A key work of twentieth-century classical and existential literature, suitable for readers interested in philosophical fiction and criticism of 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.
