Im August 1914 - die großen Nationen Europas hatten einander gerade den Krieg erklärt - begann Franz Kafka seinen Roman ›Der Proceß‹ zu schreiben. Die Zeitumstände machten es ihm schwer. Verzweiflung und Mutlosigkeit begleiteten ihn bei der Niederschrift, als hätte er aufgrund der Geschehnisse der eigenen Epoche die der kommenden Jahrzehnte bereits vorausgeahnt. Am 13. September 1914 notierte er im Tagebuch: „Wieder kaum zwei Seiten. Zuerst dachte ich, die Traurigkeit über die österreichischen Niederlagen und die Angst vor der Zukunft (eine Angst, die mir im Grunde lächerlich und infam zugleich vorkommt) werden mich überhaupt am Schreiben hindern." Aber gerade der Einfluß der politischen Ereignisse auf die Entstehung dieses Romans hat ihn nahezu zu einer Vision unseres Jahrhunderts werden lassen, in dem „richtiges Auffassen einer Sache und Mißverstehen der gleichen Sache ein-ander nicht vollständig ausschließen", wie es dort in den Erklärungen zur ›Türhüter‹-Legende heißt.
„Der Roman erscheint hier in der Textgestalt der Handschrift. Da sie niemals von Kafka für den Druck durchgesehen und überarbeitet wurde, weist sie auch einige inhaltliche Un-stimmigkeiten auf: es wurde nicht versucht, diese im vermeintlichen Sinne des Autors zu berichtigen. Ebensowenig wurde versucht, die vielfältigen Besonderheiten der Ausdrucksweise (z.B. paar Schritte) oder der Schreibung (z.B. ›Teater‹) der schriftsprachlichen Norm anzugleichen; auch wurde Kafkas spärliche und mitunter eigenwillige Zeichensetzung - die in rhetorischer Hinsicht durchaus ihren guten Sinn hat - nur dort emendiert, wo sie die Lesbarkeit unnötig erschwert hätte."

Franz Kafka wurde am 3. Juli 1883 als Sohn jüdischer Eltern in Prag geboren. Nach einem Jurastudium, das er 1906 mit der Promotion abschloss, trat Kafka 1908 in die »Arbeiter-Unfall-Versicherungs-Anstalt« ein, deren Beamter er bis zu seiner frühzeitigen Pensionierung im Jahr 1922 blieb. Im Spätsommer 1917 erlitt Franz Kafka einen Blutsturz; es war der Ausbruch der Tuberkulose, an deren Folgen er am 3. Juni 1924, noch nicht 41 Jahre alt, starb.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. On the day after his thirtieth birthday, Josef K, a bank teller, is arrested by two mysterious agents of an unspecified organization. Confused and shocked, Josef inquires about the crime he is being accused of, but the agents will not answer, leaving Josef to decide what he feels most guilty for. Though he is not imprisoned, Josef is told to await further instructions. Tortured by the unknown, Josef returns to his home and tries to guess what he could be charged for. His landlady, Frau Grubach, feels amicably about Josef despite the arrest and wishes to help. She speculates that he is likely being punished for his promiscuous behavior involving one of his neighbors. Josef is unable to confirm this, but he does go to his neighbor, Fraulien, for comfort. While she does accept his affection and kiss at first, Fraulien later rejects Josef's advances. When he returns home, he is given unclear instructions for his court appearance. With an address, but not a specific report time, Josef arrives late to his trial, angering the assembly. When Josef vents his frustrations about the absurdity of the trial, he upsets the court even more. Still unclear on the charges he faces and the possible punishment, Josef feels the weight of guilt and the immeasurable high stakes as the trial proceeds. While he is thrown in a whirlwind of chaos and uncertainty, Josef pleas his innocence as he still investigates what crime he is being tried for. Through brilliant symbolism and excellent characterization, The Trial by Franz Kafka is an intelligent and intriguing perspective on the innerworkings of the justice system, told from the point of view of the guilty or accused. Published posthumously in 1925, The Trial has become one of Franz Kafka's most popular works, and has been adapted for film, radio, and theater. With several interpretations and possible meanings, Franz Kafka's The Trial provides a thrilling and thought-provoking reading experience for contemporary audiences. This edition of The Trial by Franz Kafka is accessible for modern readers with features such as its new, striking cover design and the stylish, readable font it is printed in.
