The Trial

Meer over het boek

The narrative centers on Josef K, who faces an inexplicable accusation in a nightmarish legal system that symbolizes totalitarian oppression. As he seeks to clear his name, the elusive nature of his supposed crime deepens his entanglement in bureaucratic absurdity. Each attempt to navigate the labyrinth of authority leads to further confusion and despair, highlighting themes of existential angst and the futility of seeking justice in an incomprehensible world. Kafka's work critiques the mechanisms of power that trap individuals in a cycle of helplessness.
