Reviews"'[I]t seemed as though the shame was to outlive him.' With these words The Trial ends. Kafka's shame then is no more personal than the life and thought which govern it and which he describes thus: 'He does not live for the sake of his own life, he does not think for the sake of his own thought. He feels as though he were living and thinking under the constraint of a family . . . Because of this unknown family . . . he cannot be released.'" -Walter Benjamin "Breon Mitchell's translation is an accomplishment of the highest order that will honor Kafka far into the twenty-first century." -Walter Abish, author of How German Is It, "'[I]t seemed as though the shame was to outlive him.'

In more than one hundred languages, the epithet "kafkaesque' attaches to the central images, to the constants of inhumanity and absurdity in our times.... In this diffusion of the kafkaesque into so many recesses of our private and public existence,The Trialplays a commanding role." --From the Introduction by George Steiner "Here we are taken to the limits of human thought. Indeed, everything in this work is, in the true sense, essential. It states the problem of the absurd in its entirety." --Albert Camus, "Kafka's 'legalese' is alchemically fused with a prose of great verve and intense readability." --James Rolleston, professor of Germanic languages and literatures, Duke University "Breon Mitchell's translation is an accomplishment of the highest order that will honor Kafka far into the twenty-first century." --Walter Abish, author ofHow German Is It

SynopsisFrom one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, the author of The Metamorphosis : 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., 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.

Do what is right rather than what is acceptable. -Kafka
I only read limited fiction. Kafka is my favourite. "The Trial" is amazing. I've read it four times. If you are into Kafka, this is my personal favourite novel. Dearest Father is an excellent read as well if you have ever dealt with a narcissist. Read beyond "Metamorphosis," please.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
