The Trial

The Trial, written by Franz Kafka, follows the story of Joseph K., a bank official who is unexpectedly arrested on his 30th birthday for a crime that is never revealed to him or the reader.

The novel delves into the absurd and labyrinthine legal system, where K. is drawn into a world devoid of logic and transparency.

As K. navigates this enigmatic system, he encounters various characters, including lawyers, court officials, and other defendants, which further complicate his situation.

The novel explores themes of guilt, bureaucracy, and the individual's struggle against an incomprehensible and oppressive society, ultimately leading to K.'s psychological and emotional transformation.

The book is a profound reflection on the human condition, illustrating how societal structures can alienate and render individuals powerless.
