Der Verschollene. Textausgabe mit Kommentar und Materialien

Seventeen-year-old Karl Rossmann is seduced by a maid, who then has a child. As punishment, his parents send him to America, where Karl initially stays with a wealthy uncle in New York, who supports him. When this uncle, due to unfortunate circumstances, releases him from his care, Karl must navigate this strange world, which seems mysterious and opaque to him, all on his own. Kafka's unfinished novel was first published posthumously in 1927 under the title "Amerika."
