Synopsis "El Proceso (in Spanish)"

"Cuando se estudie la historia de nuestro tiempo, los libros de Kafka serán los verdaderos documentos de la kafkiana realidad actual de postergaciones infinitas y autoridades inaccesibles. Y cuando todo esto pase, la obra de Kafka aún perdurará."

Jorge Luis Borges

Acusado de un crimen que desconoce por jueces que no ve nunca y conforme a leyes que nadie puede explicarle, K. abrirá un número inimaginable de puertas intentando comprender la situación. A medida que el proceso ocupe más y más lugar en su vida, cada puerta constituirá una traba más alienante en el proceso judicial al que se ve sometido. Solo K. parece darse cuenta, en una lucidez irrisoria e inútil hasta el fin, de la total ausencia de hechos o eventos que clarifiquen la interminable incongruencia de su confinamiento.

(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.
