The Trial

Viac o knihe

The narrative follows Josef K., a bank officer who faces an absurd and surreal arrest on his 30th birthday without any wrongdoing. As he navigates a labyrinth of court sessions, he grapples with an opaque legal system and the oppressive weight of bureaucracy. Kafka explores themes of alienation and the individual's struggle against irrational authority, reflecting the anxieties of modern existence. The story serves as a haunting commentary on the pervasive nature of totalitarianism and the often incomprehensible nature of justice.
