"Machinist: Fragment" is an endless text of the German writer Franz Kafka, which remained unfinished. In this story, we get to know a hero named Otto Truffenbach, who is a driver on a steamship. He describes his daily routine duties on the ship and the peculiar state of mind in which he finds himself. This fragment of Kafka's work impresses with its mysticism, mystery and content, which remains open to various interpretations. Despite its incompleteness, "Machinist" leaves the reader with deep thoughts about human nature, loneliness and relationships.
