THE TRIAL / KAFKA, FRANZ

Título : THE TRIAL Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: KAFKA, FRANZ, Autor Editorial: LONDON : ARCTURUS PUBLISHING Fecha de publicación: 2021 Número de páginas: 208p ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-78950-085-1 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Political  Literature  Criticism  Fiction Resumen: In Franz Kafka's The Trial, readers are thrust into a labyrinthine world where the line between reality and nightmare blurs. The novel follows Josef K., a seemingly ordinary bank clerk, who is inexplicably arrested one morning. His crime is never disclosed, and the authority responsible remains faceless. As Josef K. navigates the surreal and oppressive judicial system, he encounters a series of enigmatic characters and baffling proceedings. Kafka masterfully captures the existential dread and alienation of modern life, crafting a narrative that is as haunting as it is compelling. The bureaucratic maze, with its absurdity and arbitrary power, serves as a chilling metaphor for the incomprehensible forces that govern our existence. The Trial is a profound exploration of guilt, innocence, and the relentless quest for meaning in an indifferent universe.
