The Trial (German: Der Prozess) is a novel by Franz Kafka about a character named Josef K., who awakens one morning and, for reasons never revealed, is arrested and prosecuted for an unspecified crime.
According to Kafkas friend Max Brod, the author never finished the
novel and wrote in his will that it was to be destroyed. After his
death, Brod went against Kafkas wishes and edited The Trial into what
he felt was a coherent novel and had it published in 1925.
On his thirtieth birthday, a senior bank clerk, Josef K., who lives in lodgings, is unexpectedly arrested by two unidentified agents for an unspecified crime. The agents do not name the authority for which they are acting. He is not taken away, however, but left at home to await instructions from the Committee of Affairs.
