Audiokniha The Trial (EN)

Josef K is thirty years old. He lives in rented accommodation in a large town and works for a bank. One day, although he has done nothing wrong, he is arrested. Two guards appear and start to intimidate him. He is not told the nature of the charge. And so begins a nightmare of successive scenes – an irregular magistrate’s office, a bizarre court appearance, his arresting guards being flogged... Franz Kafka began this piercing vision of state control versus the individual in 1914 and, finished by a friend after his death, it became one of the most prescient and influential novels of the 20th century. This new translation by David Whiting brings out the immediacy of Kafka’s writing, and shows why The Trial (Der Prozess) has become a classic.
