Originally published as: The man who disappeared (Amerika).
Karl Rossman has been banished by his parents to America, following a family scandal. There, with unquenchable optimism, he throws himself into the strange experiences that lie before him as he slowly makes his way into the interior of the great continent. This novel can be read as an allegory of modern life.
Translated from the German.
