The Trial is one of Kafka's most brilliant works. It tells the unsettling story of Josef K., a man who is arrested but left to wonder what crime he has committed, and provides a disturbing and powerful look into the nature of state and society. Filled with psychological tension and disconcerting parallels with the modern world, The Trial is a masterpiece by one of Germany's greatest writers. This new translation by Arcturus brings one of the great works of modern literature to a wider audience.
