Colour and light, illness and death

"This work explores an original interpretation of Franz Kafka's novel, Der Process (The trial), which argues that the novel is in the form of a series of dreams, dreamt by a man who has been stricken with a serious illness. The thesis presents detailed evidence to show that the novel is intended to be a transcript of the dreams of the protagonist, Josef K., and that K. is suffering from tuberculosis, a fact that both gives rise to and shapes his dreams." "The thesis also discusses the special role of art, literature and colour, which have a notable effect on the way the illness manifests itself in the dreams"--Back cover.
