The Trial

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring themes of alienation and the absurdity of bureaucracy, the novel follows Josef K., who finds himself arrested and entangled in a perplexing legal battle without understanding the charges against him. Kafka's narrative reflects the influence of Dostoevsky, delving into existential questions and the nature of guilt. Despite its unfinished state, the story captivates with its surreal atmosphere and critique of authority, culminating in an intentionally abrupt conclusion that leaves readers pondering the meaning of justice and existence.
