America

byFranz Kafka, Michael Hofmann (Translator)
The story of Karl Rossman who, after an embarrassing sexual misadventure with a servant girl, is banished to America by his parents. Expected to redeem himself in the magical land of opportunity, he instead gets swept up in a whirlwind of strange escapades and dizzying adventures.

No other voice has borne truer witness to the dark of our times

George Steiner
