  • Description
    A terrifying psychological trip into the life of one Joseph K., an ordinary man who wakes up one day to find himself accused of a crime he did not commit, a crime whose nature is never revealed to him. Once arrested, he is released, but must report to court on a regular basis - an event that proves maddening, as nothing is ever resolved. As he grows more uncertain of his fate, his personal life - including work at a bank and his relations with his landlady and a young woman who lives next door - becomes increasingly unpredictable. As K. tries to gain control, he succeeds only in accelerating his own excruciating downward spiral.

    It is Kafka's Trial

    People with even a slight literary leaning would have heard of this book, or atleast the name Kafka. This book regularly figures in all the lists of greatest books.

    This is the book which gave birth to the dictionary word "kafkaesque". See wikipedia for details.

    The book is a quite simple story of a man. The story itself is not at all complicated, and is very easy to read. There is no difficulty to understand anything narrated, but there will be a little unease in your mind as you read.

    Dystopian Classic

    A story of a man under Trail for a crime he doesn't even know or can remotely guess. This story suggests a disturbing notion of our present day nation state where the annals of law are not accessible to the common man. The law as portrayed in the fable "Before the Law" in the final chapters of the novel is a labyrinth guarded by self appointed men who don't understand it, who have forgotten that law is to serve people and not the other way round. The whole novel is built on this notion as the...

    Amazing as always!

    Some writers are just amazing, you don't have to dig deep to find their immense intellect and artistry. Thanks to flipkart! I couldn't buy this book in Delhi Book Fair, as i mentioned above, because of the qualities everyone just hoarded this book. I guess i was late but finally got it through Flipkart! Fast and reliable delivery!

    The Masterpiece By Franz Kafka...!!!

    The Trial is not an easy book to find and it is a brilliantly written novel by the genius Franz Kafka.This is a must read for everyone.
    The price for this book is way lower at Flipkart than in the market and the delivery is quite quick as well.The packaging was great as usual.
    I was really impressed with the services and prices from Flipkart for this product.
    If you are looking for this book then this is a great deal (if not the best).
