Description

A new translation of Franz Kafka's first novel, Amerika, brings to light the author's unique blend of humour and absurdity. In this story, a young man is sent to America in an attempt to redeem himself after an incident involving a housemaid. Instead, he finds himself swept up in a whirlwind of strange escapades and picaresque adventures. Written between 1912 and 1914, but not completed until three years after Kafka's death, Amerika offers a glimpse into the author's distinctive style and vision.
