Book Description:
The Trial is Franz Kafka’s nightmarish exploration of guilt, absurdity, and the crushing weight of faceless authority. The novel begins when Josef K., a respectable bank clerk, is arrested one morning without explanation. As he tries to uncover the nature of his crime and navigate a surreal legal system, he finds himself trapped in a maze of ambiguous rules, indifferent officials, and existential dread.
With its haunting portrayal of bureaucracy and the alienation of the individual, The Trial is a powerful allegory of modern life — where justice is elusive, logic collapses, and control is an illusion. Kafka’s unfinished masterpiece remains a timeless and unsettling reflection on the human condition.
