The Trial

О книге

Josef К., a senior official in a large bank, is arrested although what he has done is never made clear. His life is thrown into turmoil as he becomes enmeshed in a struggle to prove his innocence. But he is battling against baffling rules administered by a remote and uncaring bureaucracy. And he doesn't help his case by talking when he should be listening. Darkly humorous, The Trial is an unsettling and thought-provoking work which can be interpreted in many different ways. This is a new translation of a singular and compelling novel, one of the great enigmatic works of modern literature.
