If literature is a hint, something just said and interview, for that reason and for many readers the works of Franz Kafka are too hermetic and indecipherable. As if Kafka was too reticent, a voice that just babbles and says only half the things for the reader to complete.
But the truth is that Overture Kafkaesque has become so well assimilated into everyday life, however little you have read, the more timid reader clearly understand the individual isolated and helpless before the universe in many ways identified by Joseph K., the character of the process.
Kafka's condition would be that: the powerlessness over the state, lost in the maze of all powers, unable to understand the meaning of our lives and what ultimately came to do in this world. Like many professional
of narrative literature, not least those who write stories for children, Franz Kafka uses exaggeration. Everything you like and exaggerated and distorted from reality. With the figure of his father did the same thing with all the circumstances of his life: to amplify the role he played in his life and transform the childhood memory I had of him to concoct countless pages of literature. Or, as Jordi Llovet in his anthology of Kafka's stories that deal with the father: "Few elements of Kafka's biographical setting performance were so literary as it reached the human-made symbol" of his biological father. " If one follows
haunting tales Kafka throughout the life increasingly better understood and if suddenly you run into a "Letter to My Father" in which the child struggles with his father, later will be linking this letter with many of the early narratives Young Franz, as the "conviction", in which about intolerance and stubbornness of the father the son ends up thrown in the River. This relationship with the father, who is no ghost but a human being painfully stubborn and concrete, is carefully marked in "The Metamorphosis", this short novel in which Gregor Samsa wakes up into a monstrous vermin. Certainly now
"Metamorphosis" is no longer called that. The new critical review of all translations Kafka has established that this story should be titled "Transformation." The novel that once knew as "America" \u200b\u200bis now titled "The missing person." Kafka did not want to see him too literary intent. If I had wanted, he could have titled this story along with the word "metamorphosis" because it is a word that is in the repertoire (in the dictionary) of the German language.
However, despite new and highly authoritative translations of the Peruvian Juan José del Solar, one wonders if there really has not been another Kafka who you knew or had read in English.
But what we are: What is Kafkaesque, in essence? Many people use the adjective without knowing exactly what he means, perhaps because it is also true that it is not necessary to have read Kafka Kafkaesque sense it refers to something stressful, confusing, rambling, and the situation of helplessness and paralysis that characterizes K, the character of The Castle.
However, it is quintessential Kafka in a story: "A confusion every day." It is the story of a misunderstanding. A man goes in search of another and not find it. When it reaches a certain point, they say that the subject of your search is just gone.
"An everyday occurrence: bear, a daily heroism. A is about to do big business with B, who lives in H. H targets to address previous issues, and along the way there and back in ten minutes respectively, to get home so unique boasts fast. The next day he heads back to H to definitively close the deal. Knowing that the negotiations will probably last several hours, to leave home early in the morning. However, despite all the circumstances, the hands from the point of view of A, are identical to the previous day, this time takes ten hours to travel the road. In the afternoon, arriving tired to H, we say that B, upset by his absence, has gone to get himself to his people, and should have been crossed by the road. The recommend that you wait. But A, fearing for business, starts immediately and goes hastily to his house. This time it crosses the road in an instant, without paying much attention. Once home, we report that B has come early in the morning, just outside A, and have even crossed the door of the house, where B has reminded business that were pending, but A he said he had no time, I had to leave in a hurry. Despite the incomprehensible behavior of A, B has chosen to stay there to wait. Although asked several times if A had already reached, is still up in the room A. Happy to talk despite all with B, and explain what happened, runs away down the stairs. When you are about to get up, stumble, sprained and almost fainting with pain, unable even to scream, moaning in the darkness, hear how B-do not know if from far away or right next to him down the stairs angry , to stomp, and finally disappears.
