About This Novel
"The Missing" is Kafka's first novel. It tells the story of the protagonist Karl who was seduced by a middle-aged maid at the age of 16 and gave birth to a child with her. His father angrily kicked him out of the house. He wandered to the United States alone and became a master with the help of his rich uncle. However, he went against his uncle's wishes and associated with the "bad guys". He had a fierce relationship with two tramps and became someone else's servant and an errand boy in a brothel. The novel is full of comedy and makes people laugh. "Proceedings" is the author's earliest known novel. It exposes the judicial insiders of the dark society and the corrupt bureaucracy: Bank assistant K is an upright, diligent and capable man, but he was suddenly arrested on his 30th birthday. He felt that the matter was absurd and It's also funny. After many inquiries, he learned that there was a court investigating him; he tried to seek help from the people around him, but no one paid attention; seeking a defense was in vain, and he was helpless... The plot of the novel is confusing and thought-provoking.
