„Jemand musste Josef K. verleumdet haben…“ – Anfang des Manuskripts zu Der Process, 1914/15 "Someone must have slandered Josef K...." - Beginning of the manuscript for The Trial, 1914/15. "The Trial" follows the story of Josef K., a chief clerk at a large bank, who is suddenly arrested by mysterious agents one morning. The nature of his crime is never revealed to him, and the entire legal process he faces is shrouded in ambiguity and absurdity. Despite being allowed to go about his daily life, Josef K. is continually drawn into a bewildering and nightmarish legal system. "The Trial" has had a profound impact on literature and philosophy. Its themes of alienation, existential dread, and the absurdity of modern life resonate with existentialist thinkers and writers. The novel has been interpreted in various ways, including as a critique of totalitarian regimes, a reflection on the nature of guilt and innocence, and a commentary on the complexities of the human condition.

"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we are reading doesn't wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for? ... A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us."

Letter to Oskar Pollak (27 January 1904)

~Franz Kafka (3 July 1883 – 3 June 1924)
