Trial - Franz Kafka
Tax included.
A terrifying psychological trip into the life of one Joseph K, an ordinary man who wakes up one day to find himself accused of a crime he did not commit, a crime whose nature is never revealed to him.
Once arrested, he is released but must report to court on a regular basis, an event that proves maddening, as nothing is ever resolved.
As he grows more uncertain of his fate, his personal life, including work at a bank and his relations with his landlady and a young woman who lives next door, becomes increasingly unpredictable.
As Joseph tries to gain control, he succeeds only in accelerating his own excruciating downward spiral.
