The Trial

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Somebody must have slandered Joseph K., for one morning, without having done anything wrong, he was arrested." - Franz Kafka, The Trial The Trial by Franz Kafka is the terrifying tale of Josef K. and his surreal arrest. Josef K., a respectable bank officer, is suddenly and inexplicably arrested by a pair of guards that have arrived at his boardinghouse on his 30th birthday. He is shortly asked to appear before endless rounds of sessions at court. The story becomes interesting as he must defend himself against a charge about which he can get no information. He finds himself caught up in the mindless bureaucracy of the law wedded to the madness of totalitarianism and the angsts and alienation of the modern age. Rendering the tale of an ordinary person's struggle against an unreasoning and unreasonable authority, The Trial reverberates the chilling truth of today's times.

Autorenporträt

Franz Kafka, born in 1883 in Prague, was a Czech writer known for his surreal and existential storytelling. His most famous works, like "The Metamorphosis" and "The Trial," explore themes of alienation and the absurdity of modern life. Despite publishing only a few pieces during his lifetime, Kafka's precise prose and profound insights into the human condition have made him a cornerstone of 20th-century literature. After his death in 1924, his friend Max Brod defied Kafka's wishes to destroy his unpublished works, ensuring his lasting influence on literature and philosophy.
