The Trial
Kafka, Franz
Synopsis "The Trial"
"Somebody must have slandered Joseph K., for one morning, without having done anything wrong, he was arrested." - Franz Kafka, The Trial The Trial by Franz Kafka is the terrifying tale of Josef K. and his surreal arrest. Josef K., a respectable bank officer, is suddenly and inexplicably arrested by a pair of guards that have arrived at his boardinghouse on his 30th birthday. He is shortly asked to appear before endless rounds of sessions at court. The story becomes interesting as he must defend himself against a charge about which he can get no information. He finds himself caught up in the mindless bureaucracy of the law wedded to the madness of totalitarianism and the angsts and alienation of the modern age. Rendering the tale of an ordinary person's struggle against an unreasoning and unreasonable authority, The Trial reverberates the chilling truth of today's times.
(Praga, Imperio austrohúngaro, 1883 - Kierling, Austria, 1924) Escritor bohemo en lengua alemana. Su obra, de las más influyentes de la literatura universal, es una de las pioneras en la fusión de elementos realistas con fantásticos y tiene como principales temas los conflictos paternofiliales, la ansiedad, el existencialismo, la brutalidad física y psicológica, la culpa, la filosofía del absurdo, la burocracia y las transformaciones espirituales. Escribió novelas insignes y gran número de relatos cortos, además dejó una abundante correspondencia y escritos autobiográficos. Su peculiar estilo literario ha sido comúnmente asociado con la filosofía artística del existencialismo y el expresionismo. Sus relaciones personales también tuvieron gran impacto en su escritura. El término kafkiano se usa en español para describir situaciones insólitas, por lo absurdas y angustiosas.
