APOCALYPSE ANONYMOUS by
ATOSHI ANARKOMOTO
"The Trial" (German: Der Process) is a novel written by Franz Kafka in 1914 and 1915 and published posthumously on 26 April 1925. It tells the story of Josef K., a man arrested and prosecuted by a remote, inaccessible authority, with the nature of his crime revealed neither to him nor to the reader. Heavily influenced by Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov, Kafka even went so far as to call Dostoevsky a blood relative. Like Kafka's two other novels, The Castle and Amerika, The Trial was never completed, although it does include a chapter which appears to bring the story to an intentionally abrupt ending. The first English-language translation, by Willa and Edwin Muir, was published in 1937. 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 Century. Kafka drafted the opening sentence of The Trial in August 1914, and continued work on the novel throughout 1915.
Whether read as an existential tale, a parable, or a prophecy of the excesses of modern bureaucracy wedded to the madness of totalitarianism, The Trial has resonated with chilling truth for generations of readers. Kafka's work remains a haunting exploration of the individual's struggle against a dehumanizing and labyrinthine judicial system.
"The Trial" stands as a testament to Franz Kafka's literary genius, offering readers a unique and profound exploration of the human experience and the complexities of existence.
