Publisher Description
The Trial is one of the great works of the twentieth century: an extraordinary vision of one man put on trial by an anonymous authority on an unspecified charge. Josef K, 30, lives in a large town in an unspecified country. He is summonsed to answer a charge and appears in the court room for his trial. Franz Kafka evokes all the reality of trial without any of the specifics in a society that seems to have degraded into chaos: squalid environment, rats, yellow liquid shooting out of a hole in the wall. Guards, claustrophobia, anxiety – this is a gripping story and an allegory of modern life. This text remains just as relevant a century after it was written.

Sits with you…
Actually just added a star a couple days after finishing this book. Although it is a weird read, it explores so many important themes that are completely relevant to our current day. It’s a bit of an intense anxiety dream throughout, but that seems to add the very personal reading experience
