Written in 1914 but not published until 1925, a year after Kafka’s death, "The Trial" is
the terrifying tale of Josef K., a respectable bank officer who is
suddenly and inexplicably arrested and must defend himself against a
charge about which he can get no information. Whether read as an
existential tale, a parable, or a prophecy of the excesses of modern
bureaucracy wedded to the madness of totalitarianism," The Trial" has resonated with chilling truth for generations of readers.
