Para los lectores, hay pocas experiencias tan asombrosas e inolvidables como la primera lectura de Kafka. No importa lo que uno haya leído antes: cruzarse con una de sus novelas o cuentos, con un fragmento de sus diarios, es aprender a leer de un modo nuevo. La prosa precisa y de resonancias alegóricas; la capacidad para urdir tramas perfectas donde la lógica de la pesadilla convive con el grotesco; el modo de narrar la inapelable arbitrariedad del poder; el don único de volver verosímil lo que en principio parece imposible de alcanzar ese estatuto.

Franz Kafka was born on 3rd July 1883, in Prague, then in Bohemia, the eldest of 6, into a middle-class Jewish family. His literary works are few in number but towering in influence. His masterpieces include ‘The Trial’, ‘The Metamorphosis’ as well as a number of short stories which reveal facets of humankind that truthfully could only be born from Kafka’s brain and pen. His classic short story ‘In the Penal Colony’ begins with the innocuous words “It’s a peculiar apparatus,” as the Officer explains to the Traveller, what this grisly machine will do to the prisoners who serve their time here.

Ein Hungerkünstler lebt zunächst in Zeiten, in denen in der Öffentlichkeit ein reges Interesse an seiner Kunst besteht. In seinem Gitterkäfig wird er vom Publikum von Hungertag zu Hungertag interessiert begutachtet und bewundert. Für den Hungerkünstler ist aber das andauernde Hungern "die leichteste Sache von der Welt". Er leidet darunter, dass man ihm das nicht glaubt, ihm möglicherweise sogar unterstellt, geschickt heimlich zu essen, oder ihm zumindest absichtlich die Möglichkeit dazu gibt. Zudem besteht sein Impresario darauf, dass er nach vierzig Tagen das Hungern beenden solle.

A través de fragmentos y observaciones, Kafka discute sobre la decisión de edificar la muralla en secciones dispersas, en lugar de hacerlo de manera continua. Esta elección, a simple vista ilógica, se convierte en una alegoría de la comunicación humana, el aislamiento y la fragmentación de la sociedad. Con su tono característicamente introspectivo y una mirada aguda sobre el absurdo humano, Kafka transforma una hazaña arquitectónica en una meditación sobre la naturaleza humana y las complejidades de la cohesión social.

Come esprimere l'impatto devastante che un tale episodio – e quelli successivi – può avere sulla propria vita? Soltanto chi ha vissuto questa esperienza può capire e provare a rispondere. È ciò che fa l'autore di questo libro.
