The Trial by Franz Kafka is a haunting exploration of bureaucracy, isolation, and the absurdity of modern life. This iconic novel follows Josef K., an ordinary man who is suddenly arrested and thrust into a nightmarish, surreal legal system with no explanation or understanding of the charges against him. As he navigates a maze of impersonal courts and enigmatic figures, The Trial raises deep questions about justice, power, and personal agency. In Kafka's surreal style, the book explores guilt, helplessness, and the dehumanizing forces of authority, leaving readers questioning justice and individual freedom.
Franz Kafka (1883 - 1924) is a Jewish Czechoslovakian who wrote in German, and who ranks among the twentieth-century's most acclaimed writers. His works evoke anxiety, alienation and uncertainty in a world that is largely unfeeling and unfamiliar. He bequeathed his main body of work to long-time friend Max Brod, asking for it to be burned unread. Brod disobeyed Kafka's, whose work is now considered among the most original in Western literature.
