| Summary | "Der Heizer: Ein Fragment" by Franz Kafka is a short story written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the experiences of Karl Roßmann, a young boy sent to America by his parents after being seduced by a maid and causing a scandal. The story captures his arrival in New York, highlighting themes of alienation and the struggles faced by immigrants in a new society. The story primarily follows Karl as he navigates the challenges of being alone in an unfamiliar place. He encounters a ship's fireman, who becomes a pivotal character as they discuss work and the injustices faced onboard the ship. Through their conversation, themes of social class, identity, and the harsh realities of labor emerge, illustrating Kafka's characteristic exploration of existential concerns. As the narrative unfolds, Karl grapples with his lost luggage, new friendships, and the complexities of life as an immigrant, ultimately revealing the difficulties of finding one's place in a foreign land.
