Karl Rossman is exiled to America by his parents after a family scandal. With unwavering determination, he immerses himself in the peculiar adventures that await him as he ventures further into the heart of the vast continent.

Perhaps Kafka's first novel (started in 1911 and left incomplete) can be interpreted as a foreboding allegory of contemporary society, it is also imbued with an uncharacteristic cheerfulness and brightness, captured in this poetic translation that remains as faithful as possible to the original manuscript of the book.
