I'm guessing he's walking with a hot cup of coffee or cocoa (probably coffee because of kohvi, but fuck if I know) back to his computer/tv and while holding it at a weird angle the hot liquid spills on his thumb, after which he reacts, gets a seizure and shoots shit in his living room.

The Brothers Karamazov
Voyage au bout de la nuit
Catch-22

>>453068

He accidentally tips his coffee backwards, it burns his hand. His reaction causes him to tip the coffee forwards. The third panel says "Fucking kohvi everywhere". Kohvi is the Estonian word for coffee. I assume that "Tur" is the first syllable of an Estonian expression with similar meaning to the word fuck.

1- Catch 22
2- The Death of Ivan Ilyich (novellas count, right?)

go on

>>453193
yeah, that guy is probably german and did not get that the translation of the Der Prozess is The Trial.

>>453201
oh.

shit.

my favorite book, that one.

1. The Castle - Franz Kafka
2. Foucault's Pendulum - Umberto Eco
3. Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoevsky

>>453201

ur almost right, except im not cherman.
"The Trial" is a shitty translation of the word process, as it is way too specific. Translating literature should be forbidden. The language is often half the art. Unless it's shitty story-telling books of course. What we call "airport-novels".

>>453218
I do not think trial is a bad translation of Prozess.
You are clearly an idiot. And probably austrian.

>>453206

lulz, I actually applied for a job as surveyer yesterday. :)

>>453234

Process is a word with much wider definition than just a trial. Attacking the person is a way of admitting having no arguments I guess. And I don't even have a basement.

yes, I'm young.

>>453256

If you know why the man came to the castle it gives meaning. Read some Derrida.

>>453250
yeah, but I am pretty sure Prozess auf deutsch and Process in english is overthinking it a bit.
And the word trial is also very similarly layered as Prozess.
Just face it, Prozess means Verfahren, which is the same meaning trial has.

>>453282
You are right. Those people who always ponder about "trial" being a inferior translation for Prozess than "process" are pretentious wankers who probably can not even speak german.

Only trial makes it clear to the english reader that Prozess is a common word for trial as well as it can mean a procedure in general. And as the other anon said, trial means test, which is not so far away from proceedings.

>>453282

I've read connotations into the word process which cannot be made with the word trial.

Such as the inner process of change. This could of course be linked to inner trials. But nevertheless, I'll stick to saying trial is a shitty translation. Because I think so. And if you think there is something objective meaning to be grasped here, go read those Ayn Rand books of yours.

1. Lolita
2. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
3. Rainbow Six

>>453306
yeah, I find your pretentiousness ridiculous.
Go lecture someone on this who is not fluent in english and german.

>>453264
I love bonjour tristesse.
well done on IMO some really good adolescent literature.

now GTFO underage b&.

>>453320

If you object to my objection against translated literature by calling it pretentious, you are trying to ridicule me, thereby revealing yourself.

>>453306
"Process" in english is up there with "thing" and "event" for unspecificness. It refers to the series of events leading to a result. It's too abstract to tell you anything about the book.
