Description
Josef K. wakes up one morning to find himself under arrest for an offence which is never explained. He is taken to a mysterious court that conducts his trial, outwardly cooperative but capable of horrific violence. As he navigates this ambiguous authority, Josef K. consults various advisers without escaping his fate. Kafka's novel explores universal problems of guilt, responsibility, and freedom, offering no solutions but provoking readers to arrive at their own meanings. This new edition includes the fragmentary chapters omitted from the main text, presented in a natural and exact translation with an introduction that illuminates the novel and its author.
