America

by Franz Kafka

Overview

Il capitolo racconta la storia di Karl Rossmann, un sedicenne praghese che viene costretto dai suoi genitori ad emigrare in America per sfuggire allo scandalo provocato dal fatto che era stato sedotto da una donna più grande - la cameriera di casa - la quale era successivamente rimasta incinta. Il giovane Karl s'imbarca così sulla prima nave diretta a New York; appena giunto a destinazione, costretto a rientrare sulla nave per aver dimenticato l'ombrello, incontra un fuochista di bordo.

About the Author

Franz Kafka was born in 1883 in Prague, where he lived most of his life. During his lifetime, he published only a few short stories, including "The Metamorphosis", "The Judgement", and "The Stoker". He died in 1924, before completing any of his full-length novels. At the end of his life, Kafka asked his lifelong friend and literary executor Max Brod to burn all his unpublished work. Brod overrode those wishes.
