The Trial is a novel by Franz Kafka that delves into the themes of guilt, alienation, and the absurdity of bureaucracy. The story follows Josef K., who is arrested and put on trial for a crime that is never revealed to him. Kafka's novel is a haunting exploration of the individual's struggle against an oppressive and incomprehensible system, reflecting the anxieties and existential dilemmas of the fin-de-siècle period.
