Sinossi
Dietro la vicenda di Karl Rossmann – un sedicenne mandato dai genitori in America perché dimentichi la donna di bassa estrazione sociale che ha messo incinta – il romanzo nasconde i temi centrali della problematica kafkiana: la metamorfosi come distacco, la colpa senza colpa, l’esperienza frustrante dei rapporti interpersonali assoggettati all’arbitrio e alla prevaricazione dei potenti e sempre sfuggenti nelle loro ambigue motivazioni. Ma è l’assenza di angoscia e di solitudine che colpisce in America: il romanzo è come una parentesi tra le “allucinazioni” delle altre opere di Kafka, e lascia intravedere una sorta di utopia in cui ognuno potrà finalmente, attraverso un lavoro divenuto gioco, realizzare se stesso.

Only the opening vignette, “The Stoker” (“Der Heizer”), was published independently as a short piece during Kafka’s lifetime. The story is about an anti-her Leggi tutto
