The Trial

On his thirtieth birthday, Josef K. is arrested by two unidentified agents
for an unspecified crime. In The Trial, Kafka brings us a nightmarish
vision of the irrationality and blindness of modern bureaucracy in
twentieth-century totalitarian regimes as the narrative is driven by a
terrifying inevitability, driving the protagist towards a meaningless and
helpless demise. The Trial is an existential masterpiece that resonates
strongly with modern audiences.
