The Trial by Franz Kafka

The Trial by Franz Kafka. Translated by Idris Parry, with an introduction by John Banville and illustrations by Bill Bragg. Published by The Folio Society in 2011. First Edition.

A landmark work of twentieth-century literature, The Trial is Kafka's celebrated novel of bureaucracy, alienation and the individual confronted by an incomprehensible system of authority. The story follows Josef K., who is unexpectedly arrested and drawn into a bewildering legal process without ever being told the nature of his alleged crime. As his attempts to understand and challenge the system become increasingly futile, Kafka creates the unsettling and surreal atmosphere for which his writing is renowned.

This handsome Folio Society edition features a translation by Idris Parry, an introduction by the acclaimed novelist John Banville, and distinctive illustrations by Bill Bragg. Produced to the high standards associated with Folio Society publications, it is an attractive edition of one of the most influential novels of the modern era and a desirable addition to any collection of classic literature.
