"Someone must have been telling lies about Josef K., he knew he had
done nothing wrong but, one morning, he was arrested." From its
gripping first sentence onward, this novel exemplifies the term
""Kafkaesque." Its darkly humorous narrative recounts a bank
clerk's entrapment -- based on an undisclosed charge -- in a maze
of nonsensical rules and bureaucratic roadblocks.
Written in 1914 and published posthumously in 1925, Kafka's
engrossing parable about the human condition plunges an isolated
individual into an impersonal, illogical system. Josef K.'s ordeals
raise provocative, ever-relevant issues related to the role of
government and the nature of justice. This inexpensive edition of
one of the 20th century's most important novels features an
acclaimed translation by David Wyllie.
