El desaparecido

by Franz Kafka, Miguel Sáenz Sagaseta (Translator)

Overview

Publicada en 1927 por Max Brod como obra póstuma con el título "América", Franz Kafka (1883-1924) escribió los capítulos destinados a "El desaparecido", su «novela americana», entre el otoño de 1912 y enero del año siguiente, publicándose el primero de ellos -«El fogonero»- de forma 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, pese a quedar inconcluso, una de las piezas magistrales del gran escritor praguense.

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 At the end of his life, Kafka asked his lifelong friend and literary executor Max Brod to burn all his unpublished work.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.
