Информация для заказа
Entering New York harbor, the young immigrant Karl Rossmann sees the Statue of
Liberty, "her arm with the sword stretched upward." This forbidding introduction
sets the tone for Kafka's narrative about an innocent European astray in an
ultra-modern America that is both a fantasy and an object of social satire. Full
of incident and blackly humorous, Kafka's first novel portrays American
civilization with horrified fascination, in a biting satire which gives fresh
meaning to the term "Kafkaesque." Ritchie Robertson's sensitive and natural
translation is both faithful to Kafka's style and highly readable. Moreover,
this is the only edition to provide a full introduction and explanatory notes.
The introduction explains why Kafka set the novel in America, a country he had
never visited, what his sources of information were, and how he distorts his
fictional America for satirical purposes. The notes incorporate the most recent
Kafka scholarship to illuminate difficult parts of the text. In addition, a
Biographical Preface provides an account of Kafka's life. The book also includes
an up-to-date bibliography and a chronology.
