Synopsis "América (in Spanish)"

Publicada en 1927 como obra póstuma, Franz Kafka (1883-1924) escribió los siete capítulos iniciales de América en el otoño de 1912, el primero de los cuales -«El fogonero»- apareció como libro independiente en mayo de 1913. El relato de las aventuras de Karl Rossmann -un muchacho de dieciséis años que embarca para el Nuevo Continente en busca de fortuna- constituye una de las piezas magistrales del gran escritor praguense.

(Prague, Austro-Hungarian Empire, 1883 - Kierling, Austria, 1924) Bohemian writer in German language. His work, among the most influential in world literature, is a pioneer in the fusion of realistic elements with fantastic ones and focuses mainly on father-son conflicts, anxiety, existentialism, physical and psychological brutality, guilt, the philosophy of the absurd, bureaucracy, and spiritual transformations. He wrote notable novels and a large number of short stories, and also left behind extensive correspondence and autobiographical writings. His unique literary style has often been associated with the artistic philosophy of existentialism and expressionism. His personal relationships also had a significant impact on his writing. The term Kafkaesque is used in Spanish to describe bizarre situations, due to their absurdity and distressing nature.
