About this audiobook

Texto enigmático como la mayor parte de la obra de Kafka, La muralla china presenta la particularidad frente al resto de sus escritos, de situar el relato en un contexto histórico y geográfico identificable. Se presenta como un sobrio informe acerca de la construcción de una de las más espectaculares empresas arquitectónicas de la historia: "La muralla china". Kafka desvela la pasión que sienten todos los caudillos por las obras públicas de envergadura. Pero desvela, además, y aquí reside la sustancia del relato, que la desmesurada voluntad de perdurar, de dejar huella, sólo pueden realizarla mediante la imposición de un fin único, de un único sentido y una única dirección a los esfuerzos de todos y cada uno de los individuos. El templo colosal, la presa que desafía a la naturaleza, el palacio cuya construcción imita una visión del paraíso o el levantamiento de una muralla que abrace un territorio de miles de kilómetros, no serían manifestaciones del progreso alcanzado en el pasado, sino ejemplos indelebles de los sacrificios que es capaz de imponer el poder autoritario.
En las últimas líneas cuando deja constancia de la impotencia de los individuos para detener la construcción de una muralla que no necesitan, pero que se ha convertido, por imperativo del poder, en el fundamento último de la comunidad. Esta obra de Kafka constituye una de sus más transparentes reflexiones sobre el poder.

Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka was born to Jewish parents in Bohemia in 1883. Kafka’s father was a luxury goods retailer who worked long hours and as a result never became close with his son. Kafka’s relationship with his father greatly influenced his later writing and directly informed his Brief an den Vater (Letter to His Father). Kafka had a thorough education and was fluent in both German and Czech. As a young man, he was hired to work at an insurance company where he was quickly promoted despite his desire to devote his time to writing rather than insurance. Over the course of his life, Kafka wrote a great number of stories, letters, and essays, but burned the majority of his work before his death and requested that his friend Max Brod burn the rest. Brod, however, did not fulfill this request and published many of the works in the years following Kafka’s death of tuberculosis in 1924. Thus, most of Kafka’s works were published posthumously, and he did not live to see them recognized as some of the most important examples of literature of the twentieth century. Kafka’s works are considered among the most significant pieces of existentialist writing, and he is remembered for his poignant depictions of internal conflicts with alienation and oppression. Some of Kafka’s most famous works include The Metamorphosis, The Trial and The Castle.
