Este es un relato corto de Franz Kafka que explora la naturaleza de la pasión, el sufrimiento y la búsqueda de la perfección artística. La historia sigue a un artista del hambre que se presenta como un espectáculo de entretenimiento para el público. A medida que la historia avanza, se revela la verdadera naturaleza de su arte: ayunar hasta la muerte.
