About this product

Product Information

Written in 1914, The Trial is one of the most important novels of the twentieth century: the terrifying tale of Josef K., a respectable bank officer who is suddenly and inexplicably arrested and must defend himself against a charge about which he can get no information. Whether read as an existential tale, a parable, or a prophecy of the excesses of modern bureaucracy wedded to the madness of totalitarianism, Kafka's nightmare has resonated with chilling truth for generations of readers. This new edition is based upon the work of an international team of experts who have restored the text, the sequence of chapters, and their division to create a version that is as close as possible to the way the author left it. In his brilliant translation, Breon Mitchell masterfully reproduces the distinctive poetics of Kafka's prose, revealing a novel that is as full of energy and power as it was when it was first written.

"Kafka's 'legalese' is alchemically fused with a prose of great verve and intense readability." --James Rolleston, professor of Germanic languages and literatures, Duke University "Breon Mitchell's translation is an accomplishment of the highest order that will honor Kafka far into the twenty-first century." --Walter Abish, author ofHow German Is It, "Kafka's 'legalese' is alchemically fused with a prose of great verve and intense readability." --James Rolleston, professor of Germanic languages and literatures, Duke University "Breon Mitchell's translation is an accomplishment of the highest order that will honor Kafka far into the twenty-first century." --Walter Abish, author of How German Is It

  • Class read

    I have to say that compared to Kafka's other writings this is not as well written as others. I have read Kafka extensively and this book reads more like an absent-minded person. Although this is Kakfa so I cannot completely hate it. The translator describes his process (compared to others) of translating the book which is to say that he stayed true to Kafka's original wording with only slight adjustments to make sense of the wording when reading.

  • The Trial is a Kafka Masterpiece

    Kafka is an amazing author....this book is very exciting and emotional if you understand Kafka...Love it!

  • Excellent Read!!

    The scarest thing about a trail is not knowing what you are accused of. Kafka knows how to play with hi characters and take things out of the ordinary and make them mean something. A Must READ!!!
