Franz Kafka was born to Jewish parents in Bohemia in 1883. Kafka s father was a luxury goods retailer who worked long hours and as a result never became close with his son. Kafka s relationship with his father greatly influenced his later writing and directly informed his Brief an den Vater (Letter to His Father). Kafka had a thorough education and was fluent in both German and Czech. As a young man, he was hired to work at an insurance company where he was quickly promoted despite his desire to devote his time to writing rather than insurance. Over the course of his life, Kafka wrote a great number of stories, letters, and essays, but burned the majority of his work before his death and requested that his friend Max Brod burn the rest. Brod, however, did not fulfill this request and published many of the works in the years following Kafka s death of tuberculosis in 1924. Thus, most of Kafka s works were published posthumously, and he did not live to see them recognized as some of the most important examples of literature of the twentieth century. Kafka s works are considered among the most significant pieces of existentialist writing, and he is remembered for his poignant depictions of internal conflicts with alienation and oppression. Some of Kafka s most famous works include The Metamorphosis, The Trial and The Castle.

Paperback. Condition: UNSPECIFIED. "C'était le soir tard, lorsque K. arriva. Le village était sous la neige. La colline du Château restait invisible, le brouillard et l'obscurité l'entouraient, il n'y avait pas même une lueur qui indiquât la présence du grand Château. K. s'arrêta longuement sur le pont de bois qui mène de la route au village, et resta les yeux levés vers ce qui semblait être le vide."K. entame là un long et harassant combat avec ce mystérieux Château, comme dans Le Procès un autre K. luttait contre un Tribunal omniprésent et pourtant insaisissable.Le fondé de pouvoir Joseph K. rêvait de se justifier. Le géomètre K. désire être reconnu et accepté. Parviendra-t-il même à prendre la mesure de son impuissance et de son ignorance ? - Nombre de page(s) : 384 - Poids : 207g - Langue : ALLEMAND - Genre : Littérature Romans Poche GF.
