The Trial
Kafka Franz
On his thirtieth birthday, the bank clerk
Josef K. is suddenly arrested by mysterious agents for an unspecified crime. He
is told that he will be set free, but must make regular appearances at a court
in the attic of a tenement building while his trial proceeds. Although he never
comes to know the particulars of his case, Josef K. finds his life taken over
by the opaque bureaucratic procedures and is tormented by the psychological
pressures exerted by his legal nightmare.
Published the year after the author's death,
but written ten years earlier, The Trial is the most acclaimed of Kafka's three
novels, and is both a haunting meditation on freedom and the powerlessness of
the individual in the face of state power, and an ominous prefiguration of the
totalitarian excesses of the twentieth century.
