Joseph K is arrested without charge. From that moment, every part of his life belongs to the Court.

Rediscover Kafka's classic work of psychological horror.
On the morning of his thirtieth birthday, Josef K, a respectable bank official, is suddenly arrested. No charge is explained. No warrant is produced. He is allowed to continue his ordinary life, yet from that moment every part of it is touched by an opaque and unreachable Court.
As K tries to defend himself, he is drawn into humiliating interviews, evasive lawyers and a legal system whose rules remain impossible to grasp. His search for clarity becomes a nightmare of delay, accusation and power without explanation.
Kafka gives the nightmare a plain face: rooms, papers, interviews, officials and rules that appear almost reasonable until they close around Joseph K. The result is a psychological horror story in which the law is everywhere, and understanding it is always just out of reach.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY PHILLIPE SANDS

Recenzii

"It is the fate and perhaps the greatness of that work that it offers everything and confirms nothing" -- Albert Camus "The Dante of the Twentieth Century" -- W. H. Auden

Notă biografică

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was born into a Jewish family in Prague. In 1906 he received a doctorate in jurisprudence, and for many years he worked a tedious job as a civil service lawyer investigating claims at the State Worker's Accident Insurance Institute. He never married, and published only a few slim volumes of stories during his lifetime. Meditation, a collection of sketches, appeared in 1912; The Stoker: A Fragment in 1913; Metamorphosis in 1915; The Judgement in 1916; In the Penal Colony in 1919; and A Country Doctor in 1920. The great novels were not published until after his death from tuberculosis: America, The Trial and The Castle.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

'Someone must have been telling tales about Josef K. for one morning, without having done anything wrong, he was arrested.'A successful professional man wakes up one morning to find himself under arrest for an offence which is never explained. The mysterious court which conducts his trial is outwardly co-operative, but capable of horrific violence. Faced with this ambiguous authority, Josef K. gradually succumbs to its psychological pressure. He consults various advisers without escaping his fate. Was there some way out that he failed to see? Kafka's unfinished novel has been read as a study of political power, apessimistic religious parable, or a crime novel where the accused man is himself the problem.One of the iconic figures of modern world literature, Kafka writes about universal problems of guilt, responsibility, and freedom; he offers no solutions, but provokes his readers to arrive at meanings of their own. This new edition includes the fragmentary chapters that were omitted from the main text, in a translation that is both natural and exact, and an introduction that illuminates the novel and its author.
