Produktbeschreibung
"The Trial" is a novel written by Franz Kafka, a Czech-born German-speaking author, and was published posthumously in 1925. It tells the story of Josef K., a seemingly ordinary man who is arrested and prosecuted by a mysterious and oppressive court system for a crime that is never revealed to him. The novel follows Josef K. as he navigates through the bewildering and nightmarish process of his trial, encountering a series of bizarre characters, absurd situations, and labyrinthine bureaucracy. Despite his attempts to understand and defend himself, Josef K. finds himself ensnared in a system that seems to operate outside the realm of logic and justice. "The Trial" is considered one of Kafka's most important works and a masterpiece of existential literature. It explores themes such as alienation, powerlessness, guilt, and the absurdity of modern life. The novel's surreal and oppressive atmosphere, as well as its exploration of the individual's struggle against an indifferent and inscrutable authority, have made it a classic of 20th-century literature.
Autorenporträt
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) A German-speaking insurance clerk, Franz Kafka preferred to spend his time writing. One of the most important writers of the Modernist period, Kafka's writings went against the conventions of his time. His works are notable for the aspects of the absurd, the surreal, and the fantastic. Although he incorporates elements of realism in his writing, many of his texts and protagonists engage with the loss of all coherent structures and meanings. It is common for the character to come across as an alienated individual, almost shunned from society. Over the years, his writing style has developed an identity of its own and is, today, widely known as 'Kafkaesque'. Kafka never intended to publish his works. In fact, he had ordered his friend to burn all of his unpublished works after his death. However, his friend published these works posthumously. Kafka's best-known works include The Trial, Metamorphosis, and The Castle. Kafka's works, more often than not, show a bleak and hopeless world where a just society and governance is more a matter of imagination than reality. He compels his readers to question the monotony of the systems around them, and the structures of authority.
