Brown leatherette, gilt titles and decorations, ribbon marker bound in. Translated from the German by Willa and Edwin Muir, revised with additional materials translated by E.M. Butler, postscripts by Max Brod, illustrated by George Salter. "The Trial tells the terrifying tale of Joseph K., a respectable functionary in a bank who is suddenly arrested and must defend his innocence against a charge about which he can get no information. Whether read as an existential take, a parable, or a prophecy, this hauntingly believable story stands out as one of the great novels of our times. Kafka's unsurpassed nightmare vision rings with chilling truth as it foreshadows the excesses of modern bureaucracy wedded to the mad agendas of twentieth-century totalitarian regimes.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good(+). Octavo in illus green and white jacklet, beige illus cloth; vi, 340 pages: illustrations; 19 cm. Translated from the German original: Der Prozess. "The Trial (German: Der Process, previously Der Proce?, Der Proze? and Der Prozess) is a novel written by Franz Kafka in 1914 and 1915 and published posthumously on 26 April 1925. One of his best-known works, 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. 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. 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."?Wikipedia Austrian literature -- 20th century.
