Specifications
The elderly bachelor Blümfeld has an organized personal life, keeping everything in his lonely room under his control, until the unusual invades his life. A seemingly solid structure trembles. The grotesque threatens to blow everything apart, exposing bachelor Blümfeld to social ridicule. And while the hero's anxiety reaches its peak, work calls him, his responsible position at the white goods factory. Only to be proven shortly thereafter that absurdity also predominates there.
Blümfeld, an elderly bachelor, consists of two autonomous masterful sequences with crucial projections into a potentially nightmarish future and flashbacks to the past, which, breaking the linear narrative, render the present a stiflingly enclosed space-time, with no possibility of escape, transforming it into a mechanism of slow and torturous annihilation: the two pillars of Western civilization, the personal and professional life of man, the two hells of Franz Kafka, are illuminated in all their grandeur.
In this bilingual edition, the original German text is published for the first time from the critical edition of Franz Kafka's manuscript, edited and restored, with the necessary corrections of oversights, omissions, and interventions by Max Brod.
This edition is accompanied by an informative introduction to the specific work and an extensive postscript on Franz Kafka and his era, as well as quick response codes (QR CODES), which, when scanned with a mobile phone or tablet, allow readers to listen to the entire book online.
