"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.

his new friend and an unforeseen opportunity that could change his future in America. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
