A novel that immerses us in an absurd existence, on the razor's edge between life and nothingness.
In The Trial, Kafka tells the story of a man, Joseph K., arrested on his thirtieth birthday on an accusation that he is unaware of. What's more, neither his captors nor his lawyer, nor even the judges handling his case, know what the cause is. K. becomes from that very moment the object of a legal and juridical tangle that no one really seems to control, but that everyone respects and to which everyone submits. All except K., unable to accept a system devoid of any logic. His rebellion, his attempts to solve his situation through coherent actions even though they contradict the instructions he receives from others, will become his greatest adversary in a combat that can end with his imprisonment or the execution of him. All this anguish of the protagonist is reinforced with the illustrations that Fernando Falcone has made for this edition, full of strength, which reflect the emotional burden of Joseph K. and the oppressive and surreal atmosphere that Kafka described like no one else.
