America. A novel by Franz Kafka. Translated by Ástráður Eysteinsson and Eysteinn Þorvaldsson.
The story of the teenage boy Karl Rossmann, who is sent to America by his parents after having an affair with a maid. He is determined to make a name for himself in the new world, but like other Kafka characters, a strange combination of blue-eyed innocence and extreme conscientiousness leads him into unforeseen adventures. After a good reception at first, he finds himself in a tug-of-war with unruly men, works as a lift boy in a privileged hotel, becomes a servant to Lady Brunelda, and finally an employee at the "Oklahoma Theater", the future state of art.
