Description

Joseph K. is arrested on his thirtieth birthday. His crime is unknown to him, his captors unidentified. They briefly interrogate K. and let him go but he is told to be at their beck and call for his "trial." He appears before the court now and again but justice is always elusive. His crime is evermore a creepy secret. The proceedings have already started telling on his nerves when he learns that the court has never acquitted anyone-whosoever.

Kafka s The Trial is a tour de force into the quagmire of totalitarianism. Its world is Kafkaesque. It is not a parallel world but the same everyday world visible only through Kafka s eyes. The Trial is one of the best novels of the twentieth century.

About the Author

Franz Kafka (1883-1924), one of the greatest writers of all time, was a German language writer. He spent a disturbed early life, mainly on account of a selfish and domineering father, which, nevertheless, helped shape his literature and he gave us such masterpieces as The Trial, Metamorphosis and In the Penal Colony. His novels and short stories are considered a blend of realism and fantasy and frequently explore the themes of guilt, alienation and existential anxiety. His letters are another literary marvel. Kafka burnt about 90% of his work. Of what survived only a little was published during his life and the rest was published posthumously. Many of his writings including his novel Amerika remained unfinished when he died prematurely at the age of 40.
