Just starting to read Franz Kafka’s The Trial, and it’s already proving to be an intriguing exploration of guilt, power, and the absurdities of bureaucracy. The story follows Josef K., who finds himself arrested without explanation and caught in a surreal legal system where reason and clarity seem elusive.
What strikes me so far is how timeless Kafka’s themes feel, especially in a world where navigating complex systems can often leave us feeling powerless or trapped. It’s a story that blends the eerie with the profound, raising questions about justice, control, and what it means to confront forces beyond our understanding.
If you’ve read it, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Did it leave you pondering its meaning long after you turned the final page?
