The Complete Works of Franz Kafka

A new translation into American English of Kafka's 1926 "Amerika".

This is volume IV in the Complete Works of Kafka by LP.

Max Brod, Kafka's friend and literary executor, published Amerika in 1927, three years after Kafka's death. The novel, Kafka's first and funniest, follows the story of Karl Rossmann, a young man who is sent to America by his parents after an incident involving a housemaid. Hoping to redeem himself in the land of opportunity, Karl instead becomes embroiled in a series of strange and dizzying adventures. Through it all, he struggles to find his footing in this new and unfamiliar world.
