内容简介

From its gripping first sentence onward, this novel exemplifies the term "Kafkaesque." Its darkly humorous narrative recounts a bank clerk's entrapment ― based on an undisclosed charge ― in a maze of bureaucratic roadblocks. This is the least expensive edition available of one of the 20th century's most important novels.

作者简介

A native of Prague, Franz Kafka (1883-1924) worked for an insurance company by day and wrote his tales of alienation and social anxiety in private. Like the majority of the author's work, The Trial was published after his untimely death from tuberculosis.
