Description
The Trial by Franz Kafka
Bank clerk Joseph K.’s life is humdrum, until he is arrested on unspecified charges. There is no evidence of wrongdoing, yet the accused faces an all-powerful bureaucratic machine that exerts ultimate control. Unsettling and provocative, The Trial depicts a nightmarish vision of state oppression and dehumanisation of the individual that remains profoundly relevant a hundred years after its publication.
