Publisher Description

Franz Kafka (1883 - 1924) Franz Kafka nació en Praga el 3 de Julio de 1883, en el seno de una acomodada familia de comerciantes judíos de lengua alemana. A los 23 años se doctoró en derecho. Al año siguiente padeció los primeros síntomas de tuberculosis. A pesar de la enfermedad, de la hostilidad de su familia hacia su vocación literaria, de sus cinco tentativas matrimoniales frustradas y de su empleo de burócrata en una compañía de seguros, Franz Kafka se dedicó intensamente a la literatura. Su escritura se caracteriza por una síntesis entre el absurdo, la ironía y la lucidez. Un mundo de sueños que, paradójicamente, describe con un realismo minucioso. Kafka sólo publicó, en vida, algunas historias cortas. Su obra pasó casi inadvertida. Ella nos ha llegado en contra de su voluntad, pues ordenó a su íntimo amigo y albacea literario Max Brod que, a su muerte, quemara todos sus manuscritos. Gracias a que Brod no obedeció la orden, se salvó una de las cumbres de la literatura alemana. Su originalidad y el inmenso valor literario de su obra le han valido una posición privilegiada, casi mítica, en la literatura contemporánea. Kafka murió cerca de Viena a los 40 años, el 3 de junio de 1924, víctima de la tuberculosis.

La condena - En los últimos años la suerte ha favorecido a Georg Bendeman, por el contrario, su buen amigo afincado en Rusia está en plena crisis existencial. Georg ha ido ocultando sus éxitos a su amigo por miedo a que éste pueda sentirse acomplejado, pero un día decide que lo más justo es contarle la verdad. Antes de escribirle, va a pedir consejo a su padre quien aprovechará la ocasión para expresar su descontento y recriminarle por su actitud. Se trata de un relato corto y profundo que habla sobre las limitaciones de la amistad, la envidia y la rivalidad entre padres e hijos.

"Hadn't read this since college, which is to say, 40 years ago. So of course I remembered nothing. It was a revelation to realize how simply written but overwhelmingly strange this story is. It really sets the bar for tales of personal alienation within the family and society. "

    " Great quick read and it seems to be a great intro to Kafkas work "

    " Unbelievably depressing. I picked up this book because 1) It was free and 2) Who doesn't love a story about a guy who turns into a giant insect? But it was nothing like I expected. I wanted a fable like Alice in Wonderland and I got a critique on capitalism. Oh well. It was still worth reading. "

    " This is perhaps my all time favourite novella. Not only is it a nightmarish, heartbreaking novel, but it's also quite funny in parts. "

    " Nem eu mesma consigo entender porque não gosto de F. Kafka, mas digeri Metamorfose e consegui tirar algo bom dali - a compreensão de que bato de frente com boa parte dos autores e suas filosofias/ideologias. "

    " Like most other literature students (I imagine), I sort of want to set this book on fire and watch it burn from a safe distance, but Kafka is one of the most profilic writers of the 20th century. Worth a read if you feel a bit grey or sort of insect like. "

    " La mejor traducción al castellano de esta obra es la Jorge Luis Borges. No puedo creer que haya tantas personas que den una puntuación tan baja a esta obra. Evidentemente hay mucha gente que se acostumbró a comer en McDonald`s y ya no puede saborear otra cosa... "

    " This story disturbed and fascinated me all at the same time. The catalyst is sort of gross, but the metaphor is amazing. I never want to be like his family. "
