Synopsis:
The story of the mysterious indictment, trial, and reckoning forced upon Joseph K--one of the twentieth century's master parables from one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, the author of The Metamorphosis. Translated by Willa and Edwin Muir
The Trial reflects the central spiritual crises of modern life. Kafka's method--one that has influenced, in some way, almost every writer of substance who followed him--was to render the absurd and the terrifying convincing by a scrupulous, hyperreal matter-of-factness of tone and treatment. He thereby imparted to his work a level of seriousness normally associated with civilization's most cherished poems and religious texts. Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Contemporary Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.About the Author: Franz Kafka was born in Prague in 1883 and died of tuberculosis in a sanatorium near Vienna in 1924. After earning a law degree in 1906, he worked for most of his adult life at the Worker's Accident Insurance Institute in Prague. Only a small portion of Kafka's writings were published during his lifetime. He left instructions for his friend and literary executor Max Brod to destroy all of his unpublished work after his death, instructions Brod famously ignored.

Its translation into English, by Edwin and Willa Muir, which followed in 1935, itself took on a classic aura. This is in one sense regrettable. Max Brod's recension of Kafka's text had been amateurish and at certain points, arbitrary. Despite its famous conclusion, The Trial remains unfinished and there is argument about the order of various chapters. Additional and cancelled matter has survived (and this can be found in the Appendix to the present edition). It is, however, the Muir version, with its stylistic distinction and freshness of encounter, which, so far as the English~language world goes, remains political philosophy.
