O Processo

Rate this book
Essa HQ adapta a história de Joseph K., que é preso sem explicação e forçado a enfrentar um sistema jurídico absurdo. O labirinto no qual ele acaba se perdendo é aquele dá origem ao termo “kafkaniano”. Um retrato da burocracia autoritária, tão atual e relevante hoje quanto quando foi escrito.

My first impression of this graphic novel version of "The Trial" was positive--but then I went back and re-read Kafka's book.

Certainly the sense of ominousness comes across in Montellier's drawings, but they are too heavy-handed and lack the subtleness of the layers in the original. I felt especially that Joseph K was way too solid and overbearing. The illustrations did not at all convey the way he fades gradually out his his life and into a state of total passive uncertainty. There are also too many classic comic book touches that don't at all illuminate Kafka's words or story.

Were this a totally original work it would have more merit. But it is a distorted and inferior reflection of the book Franz Kafka wrote. Read the original.

Someone must have been slandering Joseph K. because one morning without having done anything wrong, he was suddenly arrested.

And with that wonderful line, so starts this book.

And then I was completely lost. I had no idea what this story was about. It all flew right over my head.

And why did the MC have that same deadpan face as on the cover throughout the whole book? It never changed, no matter what was going on in the scene.

Not for me.

Çizgi romanda Josef K. Kafka olarak çizilmişti ve bu hoşuma gitti, yazarın hayatı ile Josef K.'nın yaşadıklarına da bakınca bu durum çok uygunsuz değildi. Çizimler ve diyaloglar Dava'nın yapısına uygun ve güzellerdi, çok beğendim. Romanda olan bazı sahneler çıkarılmıştı, çok da sıkıntı olmamış bu, anlaşılırlığını sağlamış. Anlatımı, çizimleri ve diyaloglarıyla güzel bir çizgi roman olmuş, sayfalar su gibi aktı. Ancak ben iyi ki roman halini okuduktan sonra çizgi romanı okumuşum dedim çünkü kitaptaki derinliği bunda bulmak mümkün değil. Zaten çizgi romanların sevmediğim yönü bu, fazla yüzeysel oluyorlar.

Edebi klasiklerin çizgi romanları olması fikrine bayılıyorum. Dava'yı okuduktan uzun yıllar sonra bu kez çizgi romanını elime alarak yine Kafka'ya Joseph K'ya üzüldüm. Joseph K ve Kafka 21. yüzyıl Türkiye'sinde yaşasalardı neler düşünürlerdi acaba, diye de düşündüm yine.

Çizer yetenekli ama kitabın atmosferini ve taşıdığı ya da içerisinden çıkarılabilecek yorumları yansıtmaktan uzak bir çalışma olmuş. Ne yaşanırsa yaşansın bön bön bakarmış gibi duran bir baş karakter var mesela. Kadınlar hep çıplak çizilmiş. Kitapların film uyarlamalarını sevmediğim gibi grafik roman uyarlamalarına da mesafeli duracağım sanırım bundan sonra.

Ho apprezzato molto il dettaglio dello scheletro in quasi ogni pagina, per il resto ho trovato le illustrazioni troppo scure e confuse (perfettamente in linea con la storia, ci mancherebbe, però non è proprio il mio genere).

Totalnie nie mój styl jeśli chodzi o rysunki, strasznie chaotyczne. Prawdopodobnie musiałabym przeczytać oryginał, żeby w 100% zrozumieć ten komiks.

A Joseph K. van a buscarlo una mañana, cuando se le informa de que se ha convertido en un acusado ante el tribunal. K. desconoce el delito. Y eso no es tan grave, es peor que desconozca el procedimiento completo. El acusado es atravesado por una galería de personajes con declaraciones desconcertantes, sin saber realmente qué le está ocurriendo en ningún momento.

"El proceso" de Kafka es uno de los planteamientos que ha contribuido de forma más original a esta distorsión absurda de la realidad, presentándose de una forma trágica. Joseph K. refleja cómo va pasando el tiempo sin obtener respuesta y sintiéndose cada vez más cercado por una fuerza desconocida que se materializa en unos ciudadanos extraños, todos miembros del tribunal que le juzga. Cualquier paso es inútil, como acaba reconociendo en la recta final del planteamiento donde decide no prestar resistencia.

La novela gráfica dibuja muy bien esta extrañeza, con personajes un tanto siniestros y viñetas que a veces parecen humo, acompañadas de cadáveres, imágenes sexuales explícitas y un constante humor negro. A pesar de reflejar bien la atmósfera inconexa, se le puede achacar que confunda un tanto más al lector, añadiendo un plus difícil con el que lidiar en una obra ya retorcida como pocas.

The one thing that is most profound about Kafkas books is that they make you feel uncomfortable. They make you shift in your seat uneasily while thoughts in your brain assume a disagreeing position. While I read the original text of the Trial last year, I was slightly dazed by the gloom the book offered. I didn't want to go in, afraid it would permanently put a damper on my existential crisis or whatever the dark phase of my life I was enduring at that time. I also felt guilty for not having the guts to agree to what Kafka was alluding to all along his book. Or maybe I just wanted some cheery doodle daddle to escape reality. Whatever it was that kept me from admiring the original work, I decided to give it's graphic novel a chance to put my conscience at rest. Though the graphic style and the illustrations were unimpressive, the book offered a nice recap and helped me to judge a lot of things on my own with minimal text through dark and murky images.
I think the book should be given a chance if you're a die heart Kafka fan.

Kiedy zobaczyłam, że „Proces” zostanie wydany w wersji obrazkowej, byłam zachwycona! Byłam gotowa od razu kupić tę pozycję, jednak cieszę się, że wstrzymałam się z decyzją. Moim zdaniem cała historia jest za krótka, nie można się w nią dobrze wczuć i jeśli ktoś nigdy wcześniej nie czytał tej lektury, to będzie mu łatwo się pogubić. Chaotyczne obrazki również w tym nie pomagają i uważam, że są nieco przesadzone. W skrócie - przydałoby się tu więcej minimalizmu. Jedynym co bardzo mi się podobało były notki o samym autorze na początku i końcu książki.

Vel, Prosessen av Kafka ble noe mer spiselig i tegneserieutgave. Fremdeles var imidlertid historien preget av forfølgelsesvannvidd, følelsen av å gå i ring, mye og ingenting skjer i et underlig univers og hvor protagonisten K ikke skjønner bæret. Liker man Kafka så liker man definitivt tegneserien. Den var veldig godt tegnet, fikk fram det sære Kafka'ske universet på en forunderlig god måte, og forvirringens kunst ble derfor også her komplett. God - sær, men veldig god :-)

Opplevde Prosessen som en for kaotisk historie til å egne seg som tegneserieroman, men det dystre og absurde i romanen er godt ivaretatt i tegnestilen.

,,proces" jako powieść awangardowa miał w sobie ogromny potencjał na powieść graficzną pełną małych, abstrakcyjnych dzieł sztuki, lecz czuję, że niemalże nie został on wykorzystany

Nesse clássico publicado em 1925, Kafka conta a história de Josef K, um homem que é detido sem saber o motivo e embarca em uma busca insana por uma forma de se defender.
A crítica de Kafka é clara: "K. ainda vivia num Estado de Direito (...) todas as leis estavam em vigor", mas de que valiam as leis em um sistema inquisitorial arbitrário? O livro é trágico: K. passa quase um ano em busca de informações sobre o processo e de formas de se defender. O final de K. é terrível.
O capítulo sete é o mais revelador da insanidade: K. conversa com o pintor de imagens dos juízes do Tribunal que lhe explica formas extrajudiciais de se livrar ou arrastar o processo. Mas a acusação nunca finda afinal e qualquer juiz pode, a qualquer tempo, reviver as acusações. O passado é incerto.
Inquérito sigiloso, falta de acesso a todas as provas, dubiedade da acusação, juízes que decidem por arbítrio... só me lembrei do inquérito do fim do mundo.
