About this audiobook
«Alguien debía de haber calumniado a Josef K., porque, sin haber hecho nada malo, fue detenido una mañana.» Así empieza esta obra maestra de la literatura que fue publicada por primera vez en 1925 por Max Brod partiendo de los manuscritos que dejó Franz Kafka. Josef K., el protagonista, es acusado de un delito que nunca llegará a conocer y se ve envuelto en una maraña de la que no podrá salir. Nadie sabe quién dirige los engranajes que propician la detención y el posterior proceso. La situación en la que se encuentra el protagonista, a pesar de ser aparentemente absurda, se nos hace muy verosímil. En la novela aparecen abogados, jueces, ujieres, guardianes... que, en conjunto, dan una imagen impactante de los mecanismos de la Ley y del Estado. En Josef K. irá creciendo un sentimiento de culpa que conllevará su sumisión ante el proceso y que dará lugar al inesperado final del libro...
About the author
Franz Kafka was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia, of middle-class Jewish parents. He apparently suffered a great deal of psychological pain at a young age at the hands of his domineering father. He took a law degree at the German University of Prague, then obtained a position in the workman's compensation division of the Austrian government. Always neurotic, insecure, and filled with a sense of inadequacy, Kafka's writing is a search for personal fulfillment and understanding. He wrote very slowly and deliberately, publishing very little in his lifetime. At his death he asked a close friend to burn his remaining manuscripts, but the friend refused the request. Instead the friend arranged for publication Kafka's longer stories, which have since brought him worldwide fame and have influenced many contemporary writers. Kafka's stories are nightmarish tales in which a helpless central character's every move is controlled by heartless, impersonal forces. An example is his 1938 psychological thriller, "The Metamorphosis." The story centers around a salesman named Gregor, who wakes up one morning and finds he is no longer a man but a giant insect. In today's increasingly complex, technological, and bureaucratic societies, Kafka has found a growing audience of sympathetic readers who understand the feeling of powerlessness Kafka's heroes experienced.
