The Trial (cuppa Classics)

Logic is of course unshakeable, but it cannot hold out against a man who wants to live.'In Franz Kafka’s The Trial, the nightmare begins without warning. One morning, Josef K. is arrested for a crime he doesn’t know he committed by authorities who refuse to explain anything. As he searches for answers, he only finds more questions: endless corridors, strange courts, faceless officials, and a justice system designed to disorient and wear him down. As K. struggles to defend himself against a charge that’s never named, Kafka builds a world where guilt is assumed and reason is powerless.Part nightmare, part dark satire, The Trial is a chilling portrait of a system that destroys not with violence, but with silence, confusion, and delay. Mysterious, disturbing, and eerily prophetic, it remains one of the most powerful novels ever written about justice—and its absence.
