Octavo in illus green and white jacklet beige illus cloth; vi 340 pages: illustrations; 19 cm. Translated from the German original: Der Prozess. <br /> <br /> "The Trial German: Der Process previously Der Proceß Der Prozeß 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<br /> <br /> Austrian literature -- 20th century.
