The Trial (original German title: Der Process, later Der Prozess,
Der Process and Der Prozess) is a novel written by Franz Kafka in
1914 and 1915 but not published until 1925. One of Kafka's
best-known works, it tells the story of a man arrested and
prosecuted by a remote, inaccessible authority, with the nature of
his crime revealed to neither him nor the reader. Like Kafka's
other novels, The Trial was never completed, although it does
include a chapter which brings the story to an end. Because of
this, there are some inconsistencies and discontinuities in
narration within the novel, such as disparities in timing. After
Kafka's death in 1924 his friend and literary executor Max Brod
edited the text for publication by Verlag Die Schmiede. The
original manuscript is held at the Museum of Modern Literature,
Marbach am Neckar, Germany. In 1999, the book was listed in Le
Monde's 100 Books of the Century and as No. 2 of the Best German
Novels of the Twentieth Centur
