Synopsis "The Trial"

The Trial, German: Der Prozess, a book by imaginative German-language author Franz Kafka, was initially published after his death in 1925. One of Kafka's great works and possibly his most negative, this unusual story of a young man who finds himself in the mindless bureaucracy of the law has become inseparable from the anxieties and feelings of alienation of the modern age and with a conventional person's struggle against an unreasoning and troublesome power. It is always considered to be imaginary anticipation of dictatorship.

(Prague, Austro-Hungarian Empire, 1883 - Kierling, Austria, 1924) Bohemian writer in German language. His work, among the most influential in world literature, is a pioneer in the fusion of realistic elements with fantastic ones and focuses mainly on father-son conflicts, anxiety, existentialism, physical and psychological brutality, guilt, the philosophy of the absurd, bureaucracy, and spiritual transformations. He wrote notable novels and a large number of short stories, and also left behind extensive correspondence and autobiographical writings. His unique literary style has often been associated with the artistic philosophy of existentialism and expressionism. His personal relationships also had a significant impact on his writing. The term Kafkaesque is used in Spanish to describe bizarre situations, due to their absurdity and distressing nature.
