The Trial, a horrific story about Josef K., a respected bank officer who is unexpectedly and mysteriously imprisoned and must defend himself against a charge about which he can get no information, was written in 1914 but was not published until 1925, a year after Kafka's death. For many readers, The Trial has struck a terrifying chord of reality, regardless of whether it is interpreted as an existential story, a parable, or a premonition of the excesses of contemporary bureaucracy coupled with the lunacy of dictatorship.
