The Trial

One morning Josef K. is arrested for a crime he did not commit. In fact, he is never even told the nature of the offense. His life is thrown into turmoil as he becomes enmeshed in a struggle to prove his innocence.

In this new translation, Isabel Tucker retains the enigmatic and surreal style which marks Kafka's brilliance.
