The Trial by Franz Kafka is a haunting, surreal exploration of guilt, control, and the absurdity of bureaucracy. When Josef K., a respectable bank officer, is arrested without being told what he's accused of, he is thrust into a nightmarish legal system where nothing is explained, justice is elusive, and the rules are always shifting.

As he desperately seeks answers and a way to clear his name, Josef becomes entangled in a maze of bizarre encounters, secretive officials, and oppressive courts. Kafka's chilling masterpiece captures the terrifying powerlessness of the individual in the face of an impersonal, omnipotent system.

A profound psychological and philosophical novel, The Trial is one of the most important works of 20th-century literature-an unforgettable reflection on fear, freedom, and the fragile nature of truth.
