Der Heizer: Ein Fragment by Franz Kafka

"Der Heizer: Ein Fragment" by Franz Kafka is a short story written in 1913. Sixteen-year-old Karl Rossmann arrives in New York Harbor, banished by his parents after a scandal. While searching for his forgotten umbrella below deck, he encounters a ship's stoker facing unjust dismissal. Karl champions the stoker's cause before the ship's captain, passionately arguing for justice. But an unexpected revelation interrupts the proceedings, forcing Karl to choose between loyalty to his new friend and an unforeseen opportunity that could change his future in America.
