Der Prozess
by Franz Kafka
Josef K. is arrested one morning by mysterious agents of an inaccessible court, though he has done nothing wrong and is never told the charge against him. As he navigates a labyrinthine bureaucracy of lawyers, painters, and court officials hidden in attics and back rooms, his ordinary life unravels into paranoia and futile struggle. Kafka's unfinished masterpiece is a haunting allegory of guilt, power, and the absurdity of modern justice, and a natural next step after The Metamorphosis for advanced learners.
"Jemand mußte Josef K. verleumdet haben, denn ohne daß er etwas Böses getan hätte, wurde er eines Morgens verhaftet."
