The Trial — Print + Ebook

Franz Kafka’s The Trial is one of the defining works of twentieth-century literature, a nightmarish exploration of guilt, power, and the individual’s struggle against incomprehensible systems. Josef K., a successful bank employee, is unexpectedly arrested one morning without being told what crime he has supposedly committed. As he attempts to defend himself within a mysterious and endlessly shifting legal bureaucracy, he encounters a world where authority operates without explanation and justice remains forever out of reach.

About the Author

Franz Kafka (1883–1924) was a German-speaking Bohemian novelist and short-story writer whose visionary works transformed modern literature. Best known for The Metamorphosis, The Trial, The Castle, and Amerika, Kafka explored themes of alienation, bureaucracy, guilt, and the search for meaning through a distinctive blend of realism and the surreal. Little recognized during his lifetime, his writings gave rise to the term “Kafkaesque.”
