«O Processo» is Franz Kafka's novel published by Book.it in paperback (236 pages, in Portuguese).
Joseph K. wakes up one morning and is detained without anyone explaining what he is accused of. From then on, he is dragged into a labyrinthine and oppressive judicial process, in which the law seems to be everywhere and answerable to no one. The novel portrays the absurdity of bureaucracy and the powerlessness of the individual in the face of a system that devours him.
Portuguese translation of the original novel Der Prozess, published in June 2008 in the collection Clássicos da Literatura Universal.
For readers of 20th-century literary classics and of fiction about oppressive systems.
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.
