The Trial - Part 1 (of 10)

This week we begin a new Tale from a writer we have featured before: master of paranoia and the nightmarishly mundane, Franz Kafka.  'The Trial' (or 'Der Process' as it is known in German) follows the story of Josef K., a man arrested and put on trial by a distant and obscure authority for a crime unknown to him. It was written during the early part of WW1 and salvaged by Kafka's friend, Max Brod, to be published posthumously a decade later. It would become one of Kafka's best known works.Books - (buying books from our Bookshop.org shop helps support this channel while also supporting local bookshops, at no cost to you):Books by our favourite authors - https://uk.bookshop.org/lists/the-well-told-taleThe Trial - https://uk.bookshop.org/a/9522/9781513264851Metamorphosis and Other Stories - https://uk.bookshop.org/a/9522/9780241436240The Castle - https://uk.bookshop.org/a/9522/9780241372579I would like to thank my patrons: Joshua Clark, Maura Lee, Jane, John Bowles, and Cade Norman.Support the show
