"Kafka erscheint uns rätselhaft, dabei schreibt er doch eigentlich in einer schlichten Prosa, seine Schilderungen sind präzise, seine Personen reden in einfachen Worten und es wird weder um das, was sie tun, noch um das, das sie reden, noch um das, was ihnen zustößt, ein großes Gewese gemacht. Aber wir verstehen nicht. Oder glauben, nicht zu verstehen. Oder wir verstehen, können aber nicht sagen, was eigentlich. Wir glauben immer etwas anderes, Drittes ausmachen zu müssen, das mit dem, was dort passiert, eigentlich bezeichnet wird, wir versuchen, das Rätsel zu lösen.

Tutto comincia con una domanda: Ma tu sei felice? È l'inizio di un dialogo all'apparenza ordinario, quello tra Vincenzo e Saverio, due amici seduti al tavolino di un bar per il classico aperitivo. Vincenzo ha un problema che riguarda suo figlio: un incidente con un compagno di classe, una maestra indelicata, un colloquio imbarazzante. Saverio ha un dilemma più immediato: la sua dieta iperproteica funzionerà davvero? Entrambi sono presi dall'epica di una quotidianità le cui tappe obbligate prevedono di prendersi cura della famiglia, sopravvivere al lavoro, arrivare a fine mese, oltre naturalmente a mentire, tradire, imbrogliare.

Als Blumfeld nach Hause kommt, findet er dort zwei kleine Bälle vor, die auf und ab springen. Von nun an begleiten sie ihn ständig; er kann sie nicht abschütteln, bis er sie in seinen Schrank einsperrt. Denn bei der Ausübung seines Berufes in der Wäschefabrik wären diese Bälle ja eher hinderlich... Skurril, absurd, Kafka.

Ein Roman von Franz Kafka, gesprochen von Moritz Brendel. Im Mittelpunkt steht der Bankangestellte Josef K., gegen den ein Prozess anhängig ist. Das Gericht agiert im Geheimen, und bis zu seiner Hinrichtung erfährt K. nicht einmal den Grund der Anklage. Ort der Handlung ist eine fiktive deutsche Großstadt. Die Zeit der Handlung stimmt mit ihrer Entstehungszeit überein. Dennoch, die Welt, die er erschaffen hat, scheint weniger als andere literarische Welten an Zeit und Raum gebunden, obwohl sie fest in realistischer Schilderung fundiert ist und von dort immer wieder ins scheinbar Phantastische schweift.

In a strange new world where summer is a verb and both the harbor and the partygoers are awash in a dizzying constellation of pinks and pastels, she’s never felt so confounded or alone. She’ll need more than a preppy handbook to find her way.
