Description
First American Edition
First American edition of Kafka's classic novel recounting the tale of Josef K., a man arrested and prosecuted by a distant, elusive authority, with neither him nor the reader learning the specifics of his alleged crime. Franz Kafka penned "The Trial" between 1914 and 1915, and it was released posthumously in 1925. Renowned for its examination of life's absurdity, the obscure and often illogical operation of power structures, and an individual's endeavor to understand a seemingly arbitrary and unjust world, the novel is a pivotal work of 20th-century literature. It epitomizes Kafka’s unique narrative approach, merging elements of realism with deep surrealism.
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1937
