About the author

Franz Kafka

3,241books35.6kfollowers
Prague-born writer Franz Kafka wrote in German, and his stories, such as " The Metamorphosis " (1916), and posthumously published novels, including The Trial (1925), concern troubled individuals in a nightmarishly impersonal world.

Jewish middle-class family of this major fiction writer of the 20th century spoke German. People consider his unique body of much incomplete writing, mainly published posthumously, among the most influential in European literature.

His stories include "The Metamorphosis" (1912) and " In the Penal Colony " (1914), whereas his posthumous novels include The Trial (1925), The Castle (1926) and Amerika (1927).

Despite first language, Kafka also spoke fluent Czech. Later, Kafka acquired some knowledge of the French language and culture from Flaubert, one of his favorite authors.

Kafka first studied chemistry at the Charles-Ferdinand University of Prague but after two weeks switched to law. This study offered a range of career possibilities, which pleased his father, and required a longer course of study that gave Kafka time to take classes in German studies and art history. At the university, he joined a student club, named Lese- und Redehalle der Deutschen Studenten, which organized literary events, readings, and other activities. In the end of his first year of studies, he met Max Brod, a close friend of his throughout his life, together with the journalist Felix Weltsch, who also studied law. Kafka obtained the degree of doctor of law on 18 June 1906 and performed an obligatory year of unpaid service as law clerk for the civil and criminal courts.

Writing of Kafka attracted little attention before his death. During his lifetime, he published only a few short stories and never finished any of his novels except the very short "The Metamorphosis." Kafka wrote to Max Brod, his friend and literary executor: "Dearest Max, my last request: Everything I leave behind me ... in the way of diaries, manuscripts, letters (my own and others'), sketches, and so on, [is] to be burned unread." Brod told Kafka that he intended not to honor these wishes, but Kafka, so knowing, nevertheless consequently gave these directions specifically to Brod, who, so reasoning, overrode these wishes. Brod in fact oversaw the publication of most of work of Kafka in his possession; these works quickly began to attract attention and high critical regard.

Max Brod encountered significant difficulty in compiling notebooks of Kafka into any chronological order as Kafka started writing in the middle of notebooks, from the last towards the first, et cetera.

Kafka wrote all his published works in German except several letters in Czech to Milena Jesensk谩.

It is not necessary to accept everything as true, one must only accept it as necessary

Nothing speaks a more profound truth than a pristine metaphor鈥�

Funny, us, worming through the world ascribing meaning, logic and order to the dumb, blind forces of void. It鈥檚 all one can do to maintain sanity in the absurd reality of existence, but what is it worth? Are we trees in gale force winds fighting back with fists we do not possess? Is life the love of a cold, cruel former lover bating us on while only concerned with themselves? What use is logic in an illogical prison where the opinion of the masses reigns supreme? Franz Kafka鈥檚 The Trial is the world we all live in, unlocked through layers of allegory to expose the beast hidden from plain sight. On the surface it is an exquisite examination of bureaucracy and bourgeoisie with a Law system so complex and far-reaching that even key members are unable to unravel it鈥檚 complicated clockwork. However, this story of a trial鈥攐ne that never occurs other than an arrest and a solitary conference that goes nowhere鈥攐ver an unmentioned crime serves as a brutal allegory for our existence within a judgemental societal paradigm under the watch of a God who dishes out hellfire to the guilty. This is a world where man鈥檚 noose is only a doorway. The Trial is not for the faint of heart or fragile psyche yet, while the bleakness is laid on thick, it is also permeated with a marvelous sense of humor and a fluid prose that keeps the pages flipping and the reading hours pushing forward towards dawn. This is a dark comedy of the human comedy, full of the freeing chortles of gallow humor. Kafka鈥檚 nightmarish vision is the heartbeat of our own existence, chronicling the frustrations of futility when applying logic to the reality of the absurd, yet factual, nature of life.

Someone must have slandered Josef K., for one morning, without having done anything wrong, he was arrested.

This memorable opening line is the perfect establishing shot for Kafka鈥檚, and Joseph K.鈥檚, world. One can be sure of their innocence, yet fall to the blade all the same. The most startling and accurate portrayal of mankind is found when K. goes to visit the painter in the slums and finds
...a disgusting, steaming yellow fluid poured forth, before which a rat fled into the nearby sewer. At the bottom of the steps a small child was lying face down on the ground, crying, but it could hardly be heard above the noise coming from a sheet metal shop鈥�
We, humanity, are prostrate and bawling in a toxic wasteland, unloved and ignored by the absent parents. Not even passersby stop to help the child, or are even away, for the noise of industry drowns it out. This is a world where corporations are 鈥榩eople鈥� and actual lives are thrown to the gutter for 鈥榯he good of the company鈥�, where soulless abstract money-making concepts are given a higher priority than our own shared flesh-and-blood. The worst part is that we accept this. We tow the party line, we uphold something meaningless and only given power by our collective acceptance. 鈥�You may object that it is not a trial at all,鈥� says K. to the courtroom, 鈥�you are quite right, for it is only a trial if I recognize it as such.鈥� These are not political opinions I am presenting, just the fact that much of our society, economy and political structure exists only because we recognize it as so and prescribe meaning to something inherently meaningless.

Children, such as the child crying in a pool of yellow filth, are a key motif in the novel. Their parents are never apparent and they run like wild animals. The gaggle of young girls outside the painters apartment perfectly reflect the wild masses of ignorance, defying respect for privacy and barging into places they aren鈥檛 wanted, needed or even should be simply because they can. One girl is described as hunchbacked and not yet an adult, yet full of sexuality which she asserts over K. 鈥�Neither her youth nor her deformity had prevented her early corruption.鈥� These girls, we are told, also belong to the court, another place where the persona is depicted more like beast than man, preying on those around them with their lusts. Take, for example, the student in the attic courtroom who asserts his dominance over the married women through his power. He, too, is slightly deformed with bow-legs that call to mind classic depictions of Satan with his animalistic torso and hoofed feet, and bushy red beard like something from nature and not urban society. He also snaps at K.鈥檚 hand with his teeth in defense, like a dog(Like a dog鈥� is the final line of dialogue in the novel, concerning a violent and abrupt execution. Seemingly we are nothing above the beasts of the world.), which isn鈥檛 how one would expect an educated man of the Law to respond. Even all the textbooks are actually just pornography, the court filled with carnal desires instead of logic and learned reasoning.

This is the force of nature K, and all of us, fight against when attempting to address our condition with logic. We are nothing but dogs pit into a dogfight of which we had no free will in being placed. K. is a free-thinker drown by the obdurate glare of the masses, condemned for something unknown and never given an opportunity to prove innocence.
They're talking about things of which they don't have the slightest understanding, anyway. It's only because of their stupidity that they're able to be so sure of themselves.
How like our world today where we accept opinions without wondering the qualifications; internet slander or a simple viral meme can destroy a life or an idea simply because it is funny even if it isn鈥檛 rooted in reality. K. is all of us, K. is the everyman, K. is us faced with the world around us. A world where trying to go up against it will only lead to frustration and futility. Through all his proceedings, all his legal advice, nothing is learned. Lawyers and confidants only seem to discuss the workings of the trial and court system; the more we learn, the less we understand. The system is so complicated that it stalemates itself, and it seems almost pointless to investigate. Is there purpose in assessing our lives, our condition in the world? Not if we address it with logic. This is futility. But, perhaps, if we assess it on it鈥檚 own terms, then even if our fate is still sealed we can glean a bit of insight.

That is why this story is presented as an allegory. The Trial is not a story about the Law or bureaucracy despite the outward appearance. This is society as a whole and pushes towards a religious allegory that is difficult to swallow. K. is told that even if he is acquitted, he may return home to be arrested again. Our reputation is unshakable and even when you prove your innocence over slander, people will still hold it against you. The word 鈥榓llegedly鈥� is wonderfully damning in this way. K. hears that there is legend of lawyers getting clients fully acquitted, but no proof of this exists. Nobody even knows who these lawyers are. There is also higher courts, higher judges that nobody knows the name of that also seem to exist only in legend. These unseen, unknowable eyes of justice are like the eyes of God. One may be acquitted amongst their peers, but their soul goes to a higher court that will rule the final verdict. 鈥�Can鈥檛 you see two steps in front of you,鈥� the Priest shrieks at K., chastising him for his inability to look beyond his assumptions of the world and his logic. He proceeds with a parable that summarizes K.鈥檚, and everyone鈥檚, fate in the world in which a man is denied entrance into the halls of the Law. He waits his whole life, pestering the gatekeeper. Moments before his death of old age, the gatekeeper reveals that the entrance was meant solely for him, then closes the gates. The perfect expression of futility. K. protests that the man was deceived, yet the Priest argues that deception is not in the story. What we have is the absurd, K. wishing to assess his trial through due-process and logical reasoning, but failing to see that such verdicts are beyond that.
I always snatched at the world with twenty hands, and not for a very laudable motive, either. That was wrong, and am I to show now that not even a year鈥檚 trial has taught me anything?
His fate was already decided, and his efforts are in vain. It should come as no surprise, then, that K. is so suffocated in the stifling air of the court houses. Who wouldn鈥檛 feel faint and overcome with illness when beleaguered by the absurd where no assertion of innocence matters?

The court wants nothing from you. It receives you when you came and it dismisses you when you go.

The painter shows K. a portrait of a judge, depicted above his own post (the portrait a gift to a woman鈥攜et another example of the abuse of power for carnal desire), but the most striking image is that of Justice. Justice is painted with winged feet, in motion at the request of the court, to also represent Victory. Yet the real horror is revealed when K. discovers the blending creates an image more akin to the God of The Hunt. We have a court system, a religious system, a moral system, that is more concerned with victory than actual justice, and seeks out prey for sport. We are all victims to this system, a system that is self-sustaining, 鈥榯oo big to fail鈥�, and incorporates everyone. Nobody is safe from the system, and nobody is not a part of it. K. is the sacrificial victim of all of us, his death and futility a parable of our own endeavors in this, and the next, life. Kafka鈥檚 The Trial is just as important today as when it was written. It is a book that will leave you gasping for air, and thankful for it.

5/5

鈥�One must lie low, no matter how much it went against the grain, and try to understand that this great organization remained, so to speak, in a state of delicate balance, and that if someone took it upon himself to alter the dispositions of things around him, he ran the risk of losing his footing and falling to destruction, while the organization would simply right itself by some compensating reaction in another part of its machinery 鈥� since everything interlocked 鈥� and remain unchanged, unless, indeed, which was very probable, it became still more rigid, more vigilant, severer, and more ruthless.鈥�

Kafka is tough.
Kafka doesn鈥檛 play and he doesn鈥檛 take prisoners.
His "in your grill" message of the cruel, incomprehensibility of life and the powerlessness of the individual is unequivocal, harsh and applied with the callous dispassion of a sadist.

Life sucks and then you die, alone, confused and without ever having the slightest conception of the great big WHY.

Fun huh?

Finishing The Trial I was left bewildered and emotionally distant, like my feelings were stuck looking out into the middle distance not really able to focus or provide me with any input. I felt numb and a bit soul-weary and I can鈥檛 say I enjoyed the feeling.

That said, should you read this?

Absolutely and without question. Kafka鈥檚 insight and ability to plumb the depths of the mysteries of existence, dark and gloomy as his answers (or lack thereof) may be, is something to behold. His work鈥s鈥rilliant.

Reading it made me feel at times awed and at other times incredibly stupid. Awed occurred when I would catch a glimpse of the deeper meaning that he was trying to convey through his prose. In those moments I would try desperately to create a sturdy mental foothold from which to explore Kafka鈥檚 next idea.

鲍苍蹿辞谤迟耻苍补迟别濒测鈥�Stupid, which happened more often, would occur when that next Kafkaesque lesson would bounce off my thick head, making me lose my tenuous foothold and go sliding back down Mount Ignorance. It was a difficult summit to reach and I was I'll-equipped.

Still, the moments of clarity and flashes of insight were more than enough to make this an experience I intend to repeat until I get it right鈥r at least die trying.

THE STORY:

鈥淪omeone must have traduced Joseph K., for without having done anything truly wrong, he was arrested one fine morning.鈥� Like Gregor Samsa in , we are introduced to Kafka鈥檚 protagonist after the damage has been done. We are not observing a downfall, it has occurred. We are witnesses to the aftermath, the clean up.

Joseph K, an officer of a prestigious bank discovers he has been accused of a crime the nature of which he is never told. We follow him from situation to situation as his desire to learn the nature of his offense leads only to more confusion and greater strife. He is meant to remain in ignorance. 鈥淚 see, these books are probably law books, and it is an essential part of the justice dispensed here that you should be condemned not only in innocence but also in ignorance.鈥�

THOUGHTS:

So many themes are present here that it is hard to keep it all straight in my head. On the surface, we have a skillful attack on totalitarianism and the evil of a mindless bureaucracy fueled by momentum and accountable to no one as it grinds up the individual as grease for its continued motion. This alone is frightening enough and Kafka鈥檚 images of oppressive inertia unquestioned routine are tiny snapshots or hell itself.

However, there seemed to be so much more that Kafka was saying, so many more levels on which his dark secular benediction could be understood. The System as life itself and the bureaucracy as fate and man鈥檚 useless struggle against the forces arrayed against him by the universe. Kafka also delivers a blistering rebuke of religion in the form of a parable in the Cathedral. I鈥檓 still trying to get me tiny brain entirely wrapped around this one, but the sense of sadness and crushing hopelessness of the story was still a gut punch.
鈥楨veryone strives to attain the Law,' answers the man, 'how does it come about, then, that in all these years no one has come seeking admittance but me?' The doorkeeper perceives that the man is nearing his end and his hearing is failing, so he bellows in his ear: 'No one but you could gain admittance through this door, since this door was intended for you. I am now going to shut it.鈥�
And later in this same conversation, 鈥渋t is not necessary to accept everything as true, one must only accept it as necessary.鈥�

Still, as somber and dreary as the story is there are moments that are so brilliantly written that I actually found myself smiling despite the overall tone of the story. The Painter鈥檚 lecture to K about the difference strategies and processes involved in seeking among 鈥渁ctual acquittal,鈥� 鈥渁pparent acquittal鈥� and 鈥減rotraction鈥� was nothing short of genius. In fact, given that the novel is only 200+ pages, I think those 15-20 pages are worth reading the entire novel.

Overall, I am very satisfied to have finally read this as a personal exercise rather than a school-enforced trauma. I got a lot out of this. There were chunks of the book that I found slow and plodding, probably because I was stuck at the base of Mount Ignorance and didn鈥檛 absorb the ideas Kafka was dishing. Still, it did make for some dry reading time as Kafka鈥檚 writing is not ear-pleasing enough that you can simply enjoy the prose. His prose is good, but it is more a functional delivery system for his mind-rupturing ideas than for the beauty of the words themselves.

Thus, for the moment, and given my imperfect understanding of all that Kafka had to say in this brilliant novel, I am going to say 4 stars. 4 stars full of staggering intellect and multi-layered, nuanced insight into 鈥渨hat it鈥檚 all about鈥� delivered with the skill of a surgeon.

I鈥檒l be in the recovery room for a while.

HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION.

Has this ever happened to you? You're chugging your way through a book at a decent pace, it's down to the last legs, you've decided on the good ol' four star rating, it's true that it had some really good parts but ultimately you can't say that it was particularly amazing. And all of the sudden the last part slams into your face, you're knocked sprawling on your ass by the weight of the words spiraling around your head in a merry go round of pure literary power, and you swear the book is whispering 'You know nothing, you snot nosed brat' through its pages of magnificence as the author leaves you far behind.

If you haven't, read this book. If you have, and crave more of the same, see the previous.

Now, what did the 欧宝娱乐 summary call this book again? 'A terrifying, psychological trip'. Yes, I suppose you could say that. I mean, it is terrifying, it is psychological, and it makes for one hell of a ride. But, you see, those three words strung together convey the sense of otherworldliness, some diabolical satire that's made a nightmare of a reality that's usually pretty good about behaving itself. The problem with that is the fact that this story adheres more closely to reality than most books dare to dream of doing. There's no phantasmagorical twisting of the entire face of reality. This is reality. And it needs no aid in inspiring the most abject of terror.

Arrests of innocents. Hazy procedures. Courts obscured by other courts. Files disappearing into the dark.
"I see," said K., nodding, "these books are probably law books, and it is an essential part of the justice dispensed here that you should be condemned not only in innocence but also in ignorance." "That must be it," said the woman, who had not quite understood him.
Judgment determined by accusation rather than by trial.
"We are only being punished because you accused us; if you hadn't, nothing would have happened, not even if they had discovered what we did. Do you call that justice?
Guilty until proven less guilty. Less guilty via the right connections rather than the right evidence. Innocence with an expiration date. Complaints about any of the previous injustices accelerating the inevitable, and for what? The hope that the future might be better? What difference will that make to you, the individual life currently at stake? The invisible pendulum will still be suspended over the more invisible pit, and your every forthright movement will still be swallowed in the obscurity of the Law, and nothing will result but a building sense of anxiety and despair.

Look at the Law of the past and more importantly the Law of the present, and tell me none of this applies, in the days where banks are 'too big' to be brought to justice and everything from the individual to the government is held hostage from a better tomorrow by the inane struggles of today.
"No," said the priest, "it is not necessary to accept everything as true, one must only accept it as necessary."
History repeats itself.
History repeats itself.
History fucking repeats itself.

Get it? Got it? Good.

Doing something about it is another matter entirely.

WHAT IS THIS SHIT.

I have read many reviews and saw that I belong to the minority who just didn鈥檛 like or get this book.

Like the author, I am going to leave The Trial unfinished and surrender to the fact that, unfortunately, Franz Kafka鈥檚 writing is way too bizarre, inane and unrealistic for my tastes.

The protagonist, a pretentious banker named Josef K. woke up one morning to find two strangers in his room who told him he was under arrest. The reason for his conviction is never revealed and even the officers who came to deliver the news are uniformed.
In the next chapters, we follow K. in a series of encounters that are ground for meaningless and empty discussions with various characters that seldom reappear throughout the story and don鈥檛 seem to have an efficient role in the progress of the narrative.
K鈥檚 so-called quest to seek answers and vindicate his name turn out to be futile as he never musters enough courage or audacity to extract definite answers and instead, allows his complacency to let him act in a way that harms him more than it helps him in his case.
(I especially loved how almost every female character seem to want him, which feeds his arrogance all the more)

For a year, Josef K awaits a trial that never happens; he鈥檚 never told the reason behind his criminal charge and the ultimate zenith of befuddlement comes with K鈥檚 death that is also underdone in mystifying circumstances. Nothing is explained or elucidated and yet people seem to abundantly laud Kafka for an unfinished, miserable excuse for a novel which the author himself wanted to be burned posthumously.

It really saddens me 鈥榗ause after hearing copious praise for Kafka, the anticipation upon starting this novel was great and I was eager to be acquainted with his 鈥済enius鈥�, but my high expectations were annihilated by an immense disappointment.

The Trial is among the most disturbing books I鈥檝e laid eyes on to this day. It was an excruciating experience from which my brain cells are still suffering aftershocks. The atmosphere of the novel was so odd and gruesome; the rooms with low ceilings and stuffy, fetid offices made me feel like I鈥檓 having a bizarre nightmare. (Well, at least it鈥檚 better than his other unfinished book about a man metamorphosed into an insect).

Kafka intentionally delineated an inhuman world inflicted with the depravity of the law (which is ironic because Kafka was a lawyer himself). And when you finally finish this story of 200ish pages (but you feel like it鈥檚 2000, I don鈥檛 know how Kafka managed to do that), you鈥檙e supposed to be in a state of awe 鈥榗ause it鈥檚 so fucking deep and philosophical, aiming to depict life and the big fat interrogation point behind our existence and its purpose.


Well. That was a waste of time. Max Brod should鈥檝e listened to Kafka and set fire to his manuscripts. There, I said it.

No file is ever lost; the court never forgets.

The word Kafkaesque sends an eerie feeling across your spine on the haunting thought of delving into world of Franz Kafka, the unexpected and unusual expectations make your heart throb with excitement and anxiousness on speculating the vast range of possibilities which might come across your way. We know that freedom lies at the center of our existence, for we long for free will and therefore to make choices in our lives. The nihilistic attitude towards life tells us that life is inherently meaningless and absurd, however, we must accept the inherent condition of life and become absolutely free to define purpose of our life and thereby take responsibility to live according to it. However, what would happen if the oppressing force of bureaucracy robs us off our freedom, our free will as if our very freedom is restricted by social machinery of bureaucracy which may attribute the feeling of futility and nothingness to our consciousness. It may appear to be a bleak and dark world but that鈥檚 the world of Kafka, The Trial.


The world of Joseph K., the protagonist is an epitome of disarray and disorder, for he is arrested one morning without having done anything wrong, the opening is not quite explosive per se it surreptitiously gets under your skin and mysterious anxiety wraps your soul. Contractions go hand in hand in the world of K., for on the one hand it sounds logical that proceedings in the case must be thorough in every respect yet should not last too long due to the strain they put on human souls.




link: source


The judicial system of the world of K. is so domineering in its presence that the very thought of it may put our souls under an unbearable heaviness. The entire legal machinery is so well organized that each and every cog of it works in unison, and of course, the corruption (which stems from anomalies of human nature) keeps it well-oiled and functioning like a single organism. A chilling thought suddenly rises from the obscurity and stares into your eyes-a shudder runs through your heart to realize that it may be your own world, your own life. How could one stand a chance against such a formidable and threatening system in which the rules and principles may give away to whims and fancies of the people it comprises of, to fulfill the single agenda to keep order in the society through using the elements of fear, dominance, and uncertainty.


At times we may fuel our hearts with enthusiasm through petty revolts we do (or at least we feel so, however delusion it may be) against the system but the gigantic organism of system or bureaucracy whips the string of control, just as any puppeteer does to his puppets, to overthrow the any momentarily comforts we might be enjoying. Such a profound institution or system raises itself from the dungeons of mundanity to the divine and dizzying heights of supremacy mirroring a god in-itself. However, it is strange and hard to comprehend that god may behave in such a diabolical and fiendish manner having its origins in concealed but unrivalled cruelty. A bizarre and weird nausea catches hold of our souls to realize and accept that how could our (un)kind god showers hellish fire on us, perhaps we all are guilty in conscience, as we have been told time and again by all the great religions and dogmas of the world.





link: source



The existential angst and anxiousness having roots in the incomprehensible realization, of living in a strange world, fill our soul with existential nausea (as proposed by Sartre) on encountering the absurd and nihilistic world which may be severely punitive. When we delve deeper into our conscience, we find that it stems from the nihilistic nature of the universe, our lives are absurd in the sense that we always look for the grand meaning only to find none and this profound realization is accepting the absurdity of life. The life may be illogical, irrational, and brutal against which we may try to exist amidst its deepest melancholy but the unfounded and arbitrary world of ours cages our souls. The crushing and nonsensical world of Joseph K. wherein he goes through a trial of unknown crime mirrors our own world, the unease one may feel having an impending trial of an unrevealed (even to the reader) crime does not provide any calming or soothing effect to our depressing souls. K. is torn between hope and despair, conviction and doubt, attraction and hesitation, uncertainty is a way of life for him as for his creator- Franz Kafka.


It is not necessary to accept everything as true, one must only accept it as necessary.


There is a soul stirring incident in the novel wherein K. asks a simple innocuous question from a fellow defendant, but it confuses the man and eerily forces him to surrender the superiority he gained over others as if his entire existence is shred into nothingness and even could not muster courage to withstand his existential ordeals. Further, the K. himself feels a strange weakness so much so that he is unable to stand properly, it appears to be too distressing himself to be put at the mercy of the people around him as if his entire existence gets crushed under their pity. These incidents reflect upon the feebleness of human character which starts shaking with terror on encountering the probing eyes of others (as Sartre used to maintain), it may also reflect the constant monitoring of people is being done through secret mechanisms and agencies. We always try to look at ourselves through the eyes of 鈥榦thers鈥� as if to please them for behaving in a certain way acceptable to them, it gives rise to 鈥榖ad faith鈥� amongst humanity and therefore leading to inauthentic existence. Joseph K. is also supposed to act in a certain manner which may be pleasing to the grand legal machinery or bureaucratic system, it is intriguing to observe how does it behave 鈥� does he take an existentialist approach and thereby defines his life and take responsibility to live accordingly or take an absurdist approach and thereby accepting the life as it is or perhaps surrenders his feeble soul to the omnipotence of the system?



Joseph K. maintains a quite analytical approach throughout his life in a sense that he weighs very possibility and analyze it logically to get an impression of probable pros and cons, but he is a bit unsympathetic towards his landlady and neighbor, perhaps reflects his imperfections to be a human. However, his openness often works against him as we see in his relationship with Fraulein Burstner that the signs of his forgiveness (which indicates the basic human need to look for validation from others) are taken for granted and he is held responsible for everything in the relationship. It has been also noticed during his trial that this unwarranted openness often leads him to disadvantage. The Trial represents a dark and bleak satire on humanity wherein we try to remain sane by applying sense to the life, but the life remains immune to it and behaves in an absurd manner. It is shown to the reader through the soul stirring trial of Joseph K. that in an absurd reality, wherein you may be arrested for an unrevealed crime, the acquittal may actually be a farce since you may never get actually free as if there is no way to break free the legal system however the things are kept churning, time and again, to given the impression that it is not an impasse.

The Trial showcases the sheer hypocrisy of our life wherein we formulate grand narratives about our systems, our nations, our world which may fill our bosoms with inspiring enthusiasm and pride, while on the other side our they are inherently corrupt so that they fall upon the basic principles they are based. The novel portrays that no one in the legal system, not even the judges have final authority as if the legal system is a sacred organization in which nothing wrong can happen however, the judgements are never published there only legends are followed and passed on; besides, the judgement itself is mocked through bizarre proceedings and strange processes of acquittal. The corruption is prevalent in the legal system, but it is presented as a sophisticated irony. The (seemingly) sacredness and might of the legal system sends an eerie sense of formidability, for it is too powerful to be challenged by any human or institution so how could a feeble man stand against it, the system is so frightening that its own people often get affected of it and could outburst only muted cries which falls upon deaf ears. It perfectly portrays the hypocrisy of modern world wherein we conduct peace meetings over the corpses of wars, prosperity over the disturbing records of famines, empowerment over our embarrassing incidents of racism, casteism, gender biases and violences, child labor , the media trials and the social media upsurge, and the list goes on and on.



The world of Joseph K. is our own depressing world, perhaps it is our very world in which there is no sense as if it is completely irrational wherein there is no proof of anybody getting fully acquitted, just hearsay. The components of the judicial machinery also appear to mythical as our heroic figures in real life are, for their existence is hard to be comprehended by a normal feeble man, these divine figures of judiciary exist only in myths which is passed on generations to generations. To our utter dismay it is revealed that even religion and therefore God stands with the legal machinery as it is preached to K. by the priest who actually is a prison chaplain so the judgement of the judicial system is actually the ordeal of God one can鈥檛 deny.



The prose of the tale is written in a restrained manner with infusion of additional clauses at the end of sentences, perhaps to give a twisting impact. The prose appears to be fragmented as if there sections of the novel are left unfulfilled and never returned to, perhaps to mirror the real life as in our lifetime we leave so many ordeals unfulfilled. The narrative moves slowly perhaps mirrors the judicial proceedings as there is essentially no development there at all. The prose offers everything but confirms nothing and it is perhaps the story of gatekeeper preventing a man from entering the halls of law, the priest explains various possible interpretations of the story, only to cleverly subvert it in the favor of the gatekeeper which renders the life of the man worthless and reduces his existence to nothing. Jospeh K. maintains a calm attitude throughout his life which may reflect innocence (or at least it is being perceived so) and tries to understand his trial through logic but fails to accept that logic does not always prevail in life and gets transformed into hardened criminal on just attracting the investigation. It perfectly encapsulates our lives that no matter how logical and sensible we may be in our life, the irrationality of the life may checkmate us.


Franz Kafka once said that A book must be like an axe to the frozen sea within us and The Trial is perhaps such an axe which strikes deep into our souls to affect us profoundly as if we are looking at the shame of our own existence, it is surreal and nightmarish but perfectly encapsulates our reality. It makes you reflects deeply and probingly on your own life which is hallmark of a great literature. The Trial may not provide you all the grand and glorified answers we have been seeking since the dawn of humanity, but it raises some of most profound questions which help us to understand our existence better by making us look into our own abyss.

Guilt and innocence: Who can be considered innocent and who can be considered guilty?
After all, K. lived in a state governed by law, there was universal peace, all statutes were in force; who dared assault him in his own lodgings?

The state is an ogre鈥� The citizen is a pygmy鈥� And an ogre can do with a pygmy whatever it wishes鈥� But ogres prefer to eat pygmies and for appearance鈥檚 sake they use law鈥� And to apply law there are courts and bureaucracy.
The gradations and ranks of the court are infinite, extending beyond the ken even of initiates. The proceedings in the courts of law are generally a mystery to the lower officials as well; therefore they can almost never follow the progress of the cases they are working on throughout their course; the case enters their field of vision, often they know not whence, and continues on, they know not where.

Once the machinery of soulless bureaucracy started working, there is no way to stop it.
An apparent acquittal is handled differently. There is no further change in the files except for adding to them the certification of innocence, the acquittal, and the grounds for the acquittal. Otherwise they remain in circulation; following the law court鈥檚 normal routine they are passed on to the higher courts, come back to the lower ones, swinging back and forth with larger or smaller oscillations, longer or shorter interruptions. These paths are unpredictable. Externally it may sometimes appear that everything has been long since forgotten, the file has been lost, and the acquittal is absolute. No initiate would ever believe that. No file is ever lost, and the court never forgets.

To the state, there is no such thing as an innocent person. If an individual doesn鈥檛 obey the state, the state exterminates an individual as a vermin.

(Book 701 from 1001 Books) - Der Prozess = The Trial, Franz Kafka

The Trial is a novel written by Franz Kafka between 1914 and 1915 and published posthumously in 1925.

One of his best-known works, it tells the story of a man arrested and prosecuted by a remote, inaccessible authority, with the nature of his crime revealed neither to him nor to the reader.

Heavily influenced by Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov, Kafka even went so far as to call Dostoyevsky a blood relative.

Like Kafka's other novels, The Trial was never completed, although it does include a chapter which brings the story to an end.

"Tener un proceso significa haberlo perdido ya."

La obra de Kafka es compleja, inquietante y genera usualmente en el lector el mismo desconcierto que en sus personajes, quienes terminan enredados en infinitas encrucijadas y laberintos que nunca logran desvelar.
Durante la primer lectura de este libro, hace muchos a帽os, yo no hab铆a le铆do tanto a Kafka y tampoco hab铆a aprendido sobre los detalles sobre su vida.
De ah铆 el hecho de que yo escribiera en la rese帽a original, de pocas l铆neas: 鈥淓l Proceso me ha desorientado justo al final. Un final que no esperaba, pero que a la vez demuestra la maestr铆a narrativa de Kafka鈥�.
Luego de haber completado la lectura de toda su obra y haber le铆do sus 鈥淒iarios鈥�, su 鈥淐arta al Padre鈥� y las 鈥淐artas a Milena鈥� (solo me resta leerlas 鈥淐artas a Felice鈥�) tengo mucho m谩s en claro de que se trata lo 鈥渒afkiano鈥� y de por qu茅 se manifiesta de forma sucesiva tanto en sus relatos, par谩bolas y aforismos como en sus novelas: esto se manifiesta por la directa conexi贸n de lo ficcional con Kafka emp铆rico.
La gran analog铆a se produce, precisamente entre los vaivenes emocionales entre los que se movi贸 a lo largo de su vida y la orientaci贸n de muchas de sus experiencias hacia su literatura.
Es como que un mundo no puede funcionar sin el otro. Gran parte de lo que uno lee en sus novelas, probablemente tenga una r茅plica, frase, conexi贸n y origen en las entradas de sus Diarios.
Para ello, con s贸lo leer ciertos p谩rrafos de este u otro libro, seguramente encontraremos algo relacionado a su vida personal, sus experiencias, anhelos y miedos.
Ahora bien, 鈥淓l Proceso鈥� es para m铆 el libro que m谩s fielmente recrea la escena y proceder kafkianos. De hecho a煤n m谩s que en 鈥淓l Castillo鈥�, aunque los intentos del agrimensor K. en esa otra novela se rodean de cierta persistencia y porf铆a que en Josef K. no percibimos. K. se encuentra en un estado que es para m铆 el mismo que el del lector: el de una constante desorientaci贸n.
A medida que nos vamos adentrando en las circunstancias que rodean la situaci贸n procesal de K., nos damos cuenta de que nos vemos imposibilitados de avanzar en alg煤n sentido. Nosotros mismos como lectores carecemos al igual que K. de esa informaci贸n necesaria para aventurar qu茅 puede llegar a suceder m谩s adelante.
Para complicar las cosas, Josef K. est谩 acusado, le dicen que est谩 detenido, pero no le clarifican por qu茅 con lo cual se acrecienta su incertidumbre. Sucede esta conversaci贸n: "Usted est谩 detenido, desde luego, pero eso no debe impedir ejercer su profesi贸n. Tampoco debe ser un estorbo para su vida habitual." "Entonces estar detenido no es muy grave", dijo K., acerc谩ndose al inspector. "Nunca dije otra cosa", respondi贸 茅l.
Lentamente ingresa K., a una serie de situaciones realmente absurdas -otro de los elementos claves de las novelas de Kafka- para tratar de acceder a un tribunal inalcanzable e invisible sin dejar de enredarse en una burocracia paralizante de abogados, jueces de instrucci贸n, fiscales, ujieres y todo tipo de oscuros personajes del 谩mbito judicial (Kafka era abogado y entend铆a a la perfecci贸n dicho sistema) sin ning煤n tipo de avance positivo en su situaci贸n.
Realmente, algunas escenas parecen escritas m谩s para una pieza teatral que para una novela. Incluso, dir铆a yo que es una novela mucho m谩s teatral que "La metamorfosis".
Hay momentos en los di谩logos durante cap铆tulos como "Primera investigaci贸n", "Las Oficinas". "Despido del Abogado" y "El comerciante Block" que son excesivamente exagerados, puntualmente en las reacciones y actitudes de algunos personajes. Cuando se presenta ante el tribunal para su primera declaraci贸n, esto sucede en un edificio atestado de la gente m谩s rara y extra帽a posible, con un techo tan bajo que tienen que encorvar la cabeza y en un ambiente opresivo y de constante ahogo.
Cuando uno imagina esa situaci贸n como lector, se extra帽a y se sorprende. Uno piensa: "bueno, esto no puede ser real, o est谩 exagerado al l铆mite de lo insospechado, o puede ser una alucinaci贸n de K. o decididamente un sue帽o" -como lo que sucede en el cap铆tulo "El flagelador", al que considero el m谩s desconcertante y hasta rid铆culo del libro.
Otro aspecto muy desarrollado por Kafka a lo largo de la novela es el tema de la atm贸sfera oscura, asfixiante y claustrof贸bica a la que est谩 constantemente sometido K.
Eso sucede en varias partes, como por ejemplo en "Primera Investigaci贸n": "El vaho neblinoso de la habitaci贸n era sumamente denso: imped铆a incluso observar a los que estaban lejos", o como en el cap铆tulo donde visita el estudio de Titorelli, el pintor: "El aire del cuarto le hab铆a ido resultando poco a poco sofocante y ya varias veces hab铆a mirado una estufa de hierro... el calor del cuarto era inexplicable."; y en el cap铆tulo final: "Debajo de los faroles, K., intent贸 varias veces, por dif铆cil que le resultara el ser llevado tan apretadamente, ver a sus acompa帽antes con m谩s claridad de lo que le hab铆a sido posible en la penumbra del cuarto."
Todos estos detalles, creo yo, no fueron escogidos al azar por Kafka. 脡l quiso imponerle a la novela una asfixiante atm贸sfera interrumpida y lo logra a la perfecci贸n.
Pr谩cticamente, no hay pasaje que no est茅 rodeado de oscuridad, penumbra y encierro. Ni siquiera en su visita a la Catedral, durante su conversaci贸n con el sacerdote que para variar es el capell谩n de la prisi贸n y adem谩s forma parte del tribunal.
Ahora, luego de comentar este detalle remarco tambi茅n que pr谩cticamente todos los personajes con los que se cruza K. (la lavandera, el abogado Huld, algunos empleados del banco en que trabaja, su t铆o, la Leni, que es la empleada de Huld, el comerciante Block, cualquier personaje del ambiente judicial), todos, casi todos saben que tiene un proceso en curso y algunos hasta aventuran que es culpable y que no tiene buen fin su proceso.
Algo me dice que lo irreal debe inferir en la realidad de K., dado que es sorprendentemente llamativo y hasta incluso 茅l lo reconoce. Parece que todos saben, se lo dicen y 茅l luego no necesita presentarse, ya es una obviedad.
El ante 煤ltimo cap铆tulo del libro, "En la Catedral" es, como indico en la primera rese帽a el m谩s elevado del libro para m铆, puesto que en 茅l expone su famosa par谩bola "Ante la Ley", que a la vez dispara m煤ltiples interpretaciones en los lectores.
El tema de la Ley es para Kafka supremo, inalcanzable, inaccesible, poderoso. Siempre ha sido as铆 para 茅l y de esta forma lo volc贸 en sus novelas, tanto en esta como en "El castillo", personificada por los se帽ores propietarios del Castillo, a los que K. no llega, producto de su propia futilidad, sucede en la Ley impuesta por el padre de Gregor Samsa (en Samsa cambia las letras de Kafka, su propio apellido) confin谩ndolo a ser recluido como una bestia dentro de su propio cuarto y que tiene conexi贸n con la relaci贸n que Kafka tuvo con su padre, en el cuento "La condena", en un caso similar al de este libro Georg Bendemann (Bende sin -mann, concuerda con Kafka) cuyo padre lo condena a morir ahogado y en muchos m谩s que podr铆amos seguir citando m谩s ejemplos, pero volviendo al pasaje "Ante la Ley", yo sostengo que no es necesario m谩s que leer la conversaci贸n de K., con el sacerdote para entender de que se trata esa par谩bola maravillosa, producto de la mente de este genio 煤nico que se llam贸 Franz Kafka.
Sigo sosteniendo que todo aquel que admire los grandes libros de la literatura mundial, deber铆a detenerse al menos una vez ante un cl谩sico inoxidable como 茅ste.

It's important, in this life, to have goals.

Sure, they are often a lesson in the enduring power of futility, our lack of free will as demonstrated by the ever-present arm of bureaucracy.

If your goal, for example, is 脿 la our protagonist's, you will spend several years or 341 pages or the rest of your life or a wasted afternoon attempting to extricate yourself from mysterious charges from an absurd institution, progressing not at all in the achievement of this objective but at least proving both of the above arguments as well as manage to psychically predict the pointless cruelty of the American justice system a hundred years later.

But if your goal, 脿 la my own, is simply to be able to use the word "Kafkaesque" whenever your little heart desires, you can read this, draw on your memories of the two times you've read The Metamorphosis in school, and be on your merry way.

Both sorts of aim give us purpose. And without the drive they grant us, even though it merely distracts us from the reality of what we are putting ourselves through daily at the hands of society, the government, and what have you...without the illusion of progress provided...

We have nothing.

Like our poor Josef K.

At least I have a whole new word to use.

Bottom line: This will make you look very melancholy and sophisticated when you read it on public transit (especially if you have the same vintage Modern Library edition I do), which is one of the best compliments I can pay a book.

This book haunts me. I can鈥檛 stop thinking about it because I have questions, questions and more questions; I have so many unanswered questions that I will never know the answer to, and it鈥檚 slowly killing me!

What is the trial? Is K actually guilty or is he innocent? Is this novel a nightmare sequence or a paranormal encountering? Why are so many characters never heard from again? And who is that mysterious figure at the end of the novel that witnesses K's fate? There are just so many questions, but no damned answers!

This is frustrating, so frustrating. The novel leaves the reader with an overwhelming sense of perplexity. There is no definitive explanation as to what has actually happened; there is no logical sense of the events. But, then K doesn鈥檛 know either; he is just as confused by the strange happenings as the reader. The events are completely unexplainable and unfathomable; thus, Kafka鈥檚 trial will stay with the me for the rest of my life, as I ponder this bizarre novel again, and again.

description

There are no answers!

K wakes up on the morning of his thirtieth birthday; he goes outside his room and finds several men eating his breakfast. He is informed he is under arrest; the men don鈥檛 tell him why; they leave and he is able to go about his daily life although he must attend court next week. They give him a location, but no time. He arrives; he is accused for something they don鈥檛 inform him of. He storms out of the room and is hounded by the situation ever since. He attempts to prove his innocence, but what he is innocent of he doesn鈥檛 know. A year later, on his thirtieth birthday, The reader has very little idea why it has happened.

"Someone must have been spreading slander about K., for one morning he was arrested, though he had done nothing wrong."

Indeed, the Trial uses fragmentation in its plot to further establish the ungraspable nature of K鈥檚 encounters, such as in chapter three when he attempts to save a washerwoman from an evil and lustful student. He chases the couple at the stair is where he encounters a fog and is forced to retreat. The event is never mentioned again. The situation is nightmarish, and like a dream, is forgotten about quickly. This tells us that no meaning will be had from the Trial; it tells us that there will never be any answers.

What exactly is this wierd court?

The court that conducts the trial is shrouded in even more mystery. Just who are these people that can psychologically manipulate with so little effort? They are a powerful order, which is indicated by their sessions always accruing on the highest floor of the building; this evokes their, strange, authoritative presence. There are even suggestions that this court hold sessions in each, and every, building in the city, which again creates more weirdness.

"The faces that surrounded him! Tiny black eyes darted about, cheeks dropped like those of drunken men, the long beards were stiff and scraggly, and when they pulled on them, it seemed as if they were merely forming claws, not pulling beards. Beneath the beards, however 鈥� and this was the true discovery K. made 鈥� badges of various sizes and colors shimmered on the collars of their jackets

description

Is this a dream?

However, one thing that remains clear through the novel is the characterisation of K. He is completely bland; he has no endearing qualities whatsoever, yet the women seem to throw themselves at him on multiple occasions. This resonates in the dream world, because only in a dream world could a man like K be such a womaniser. He is meek, powerless and accepting of his unjust fate, so only a dream could a shadow of a man like K be so attractive an irresistible.

"I recruit women helpers, he thought, almost amazed: first Fra眉lein B眉rstner, then the court usher's wife, and now this little nurse, who seems to have an inexplicable desire for me."

In spite of his blandness and alienation, he is the only rational character within the novel. I like to think a little bit of Kafka comes through here. I鈥檝e been reading up on his personal history, and he was a very segregated man; he was disbeliever amongst the Jewish religion; he was distant to his overbearing farther and the opposite sex. He didn鈥檛 seem to fit in, perhaps a little bit of Kafka comes through in K. Perhaps he wanted to show what it would be like cut off from the rest of civilization.

Overall, this is an iconic piece of literature; it is one that every serious reader should read before they die because it is completely unique. Its strange narrative resembles a dream; its events are pointless and impenetrable like a nightmare that stays with you forever. Indeed, this book will never be forgotten by those that have read it, as the unanswered questions will haunt for the rest of their days. I鈥檝e quite literally been unable to sleep when thinking about this book, as the question 鈥渨hat exactly does it mean?鈥� lingers in my mind.

Review Update: I bought a Folio Society edition of this and just has to show it off.....

"A mind is like a parachute. It doesn鈥檛 work if it isn鈥檛 open."
鈥擣ranz Kafka


**Someone must have been telling lies about Josef K., he knew he had done nothing wrong but, one morning, he was arrested.**
This famous opening line becomes yet more intriguing as it pitches us directly into a scene where the first protagonists are granted a degree of anonymity by the author, as he seeks to lure us into his philosophical daydream.
K is clearly under house arrest, but his perplexing captors aren't at liberty to tell him if he has been arrested. Who are they? K wonders. They look as if they might be policemen, but neither he, nor the reader, can be certain. They could be pranksters for all he knows. Even the country he lives in isn't name-checked.
So many unanswered questions:
Who is he?
Who are they?
Why has he been arrested?
Where are we?
Does time have a beginning or an end?
Why did the chicken cross the road?

This, my fine bibliophilic friends, is an enigma burritoed in a paradox.
There is something farcical about the situation he finds himself in; the ensuing cockeyed exchange of dialogue was almost Monty Pythonesque.
I shall paraphrase (apologies to Mr Kafka)...
"Take me to your superior!"
"He will see you as soon as he wants to see you."
"Who are you?"
"We're free, you're not, and you are going to be put on trial."
"On trial, for what?"
"Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, isn't it, eh? Beautiful plumage."

The absurdity continues.
There follows a kangaroo court and the comically surreal appearance of a whip-man, whose job it is to give people a damn good flogging. I don't know if I was meant to be outraged, but I found it really funny (there's something wrong with me, I'm sure of it).

Kafka uses existentialism like Banksy uses a spray can. K is trying to remain rational while the world around him has become irrational - something most of us have experienced at some stage in our lives.
As is also the case with Orwell's 1984, this book hints at the totalitarian regimes that were likely to follow.

I don't profess to understand much of what Kafka hoped to symbolise in this allegorical mystery (I suspect he didn't want anyone to unlock all of its secrets anyway), and one gets the feeling that he deliberately leads us into a literary cul-de-sac of his own choosing.

The blurb describes the book as being "terrifying鈥� and 鈥榗hilling". I found it to be neither.
If anything, I found it rather droll.
Let me explain myself thus鈥�
I have a lugubrious friend. His name is Mark.
Mark is so overly pessimistic and melancholic, that he creases me up with laughter each time he speaks. Then, when he asks me what it is that's so funny (with that glum look on his face), I crack up even more!
He's a hoot, and so is this book!
I thoroughly enjoyed being trapped in Franz Kafka's web and must revisit Metamorphosis, his crowning achievement.
I read it years ago when I was too young to properly 'get' it.
Not that I'm likely to totally understand it even now! : )

His language was German, his religion was Judaism, and his passion was literature. Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who was to languish for years as an employee of a commercial insurance company that made him do acts he disapproved of, mostly when they were not under morality or simple humanity, spent his free time, often solitary, to write. Still, he wanted nothing to come to light of his work, a desire that, remarkably, fortunately, his friend, the poet Max Brod, would refuse to grant.
I was between fifteen and sixteen years old when I read The Trial. I have unforgettable memories of it simultaneously as a more or less accepted attraction for this writing which can frighten and disturb at the same time as it opens our eyes to the reality of relations between citizens and administrations. Connections, where the city will consistently be subservient, are humiliating in the face of administrative agents who regard their dialogists as anonymous pawns and draw their force on what they hold if they wish to access this information. Files that can reveal what they want to know about the people who come to present their requests. However, the novel's hero, Joseph K., is precisely in this situation of powerlessness and dependence. When learning that he is dealing with justice for facts, he does not know anything. He suffers heavily from being in this situation to becoming a daily victim of an obsession. The more worried as he considers himself innocent and has nothing to be ashamed of when he sees the gazes of people indifferent to his problem turning towards him, incredulous, even suspicious. Even when one has compassion for him, and even if some are ready to help him, they cannot do anything, coming up against a wall like him. It goes as far as the absurd, and it is indeed ridiculous. Yet, this fantastic has something objective. It describes the absurdity of our lives when we have reduced to being just a number in a confrontation with an administration, especially before the legal authorities. - that of a file handled among thousands, even millions of others, which reduces us to no longer being an object and no longer a subject, still less an active subject. Ultimately, we could tolerate an obedient issue. However, we still prefer a topic that is content to silently undergo what happens to him because it is the law and the "logic (illogical and unjust but unstoppable) of things.". Joseph K. refuses this state of affairs; he has his way of reacting, contesting, or rebelling (without making too many waves). Still, it is his concern to know which revolt is a subversive act in the eyes of authority and public opinion, as if it were futile. The one who rebels is embarrassed that he does not allow himself to stop by anything in this quest. The first step towards justification and rehabilitation attempts is to fight to forgive oneself and reestablish the truth and its honor, which ultimately is never entirely satisfied because justice is decidedly not of this world. Yes, Mr. Joseph K., therefore, stop asking to have access to your file and to consult it because we do not even know where it is: how do you want us to know that we know where to look for him since we do not know exactly where he ended up arriving. Just know that you charged and that it has happened. And besides, everyone knows what's the use of fighting, what's the use of raising mountains of files. It won't change anything.
I will not describe the end of this novel as a disturbing work that forces us to ask ourselves the right questions: are we not concerned, too, each on our own? Is this book realistic? Does he show us the "blind monster" to whom we hand over our identities in the oppressive stranglehold he maintains, individually and collectively?
Is there any adherence to a Dostoyevsky fatalism below? It's up to everyone to find the answer that they think is the most accurate.
The fact remains that this book, even if it seems unbearable, does not let you go: you finish reading it, and you come out of it troubled and forever marked.

Isn鈥檛 our Whole Life a Trial, in an existential sense?

If, like me, you walk a plain and decent path, the world is probably none too friendly toward you.

That鈥檚 understandable. And I think you should also know that should you plainly persist in it, you鈥檒l probably be Put on Trial. Figuratively speaking.

Welcome to the Absurd.

But there鈥檚 also an UP side to that.

I think that anyone who has lived a highly idiosyncratic life, like Franz Kafka and my own totally colossally unsuperstar self, has in time developed a larger ideological container for their intellectual life.

Sorta like quantum mechanics does, for we have come to see the laws and customs of the world under that selfsame Aegis of Absurdity.

And that is the sense in which we appreciate the Rule of Law in this world. The law is itself idiosyncratic and accretive, but it WORKS.

Under quantum mechanics, if something works MOST of the time, we can allow that as a constant FOR US. Even if should we ourselves should be put in the dock.

But, allowing it to be a constant, can we learn to Love it, as being in itself in a state of Absolute momentary transcendence over an Absurd physical universe?

Even if that transcendence means our death?

For that鈥檚 the vision Kafka seems to have attained as his life drew to a close...

That鈥檚 - or so I believe - Kafka鈥檚 premise in this novel. If a thing works most of the time, that鈥檚 normal - and good in a practical sense.

And that鈥檚 a start. Even though we鈥檙e implicated in the machinery of Law, the Law鈥檚 Good.

And we ALL have to take the Fire as punishment - now - or later.

Don鈥檛 laugh. I鈥檓 serious.

I could be wrong, but this seems to be the one novel the great hag-ridden Franz Kafka completed. I believe that that鈥檚 for a good reason.

OK. Many of you may not know this, but at one point in his later Diary, Kafka wrote the words (as best as I can remember and can now paraphrase):

鈥業f you disagree with the rules of the world, the world is invariably Right.鈥�

He wrote those words to mark a critical split in his personal path that, as I believe, he had finally and irrevocably decided to take. It would give him Closure. And pain.

Except now, in the Pain - was Hope.

And it鈥檚 not just that the law is just a rule to follow, not that it鈥檚 wrong-headed but nevertheless our duty, not that it鈥檚 dumb but the best people can manage - no.

The law of the world is right. That鈥檚 the Real Way of the World. And the universe, in fact.

It鈥檚 just, you may say, that we are in a world that鈥檚 Absurd. But actually, then we鈥檙e of no importance, suddenly. Remember that feeling?

That鈥檚 called waking up.

Anyone for Hegel? For this is just Hegel rehashed. But a Hegel Redux for postmodernists!

But it鈥檚 surely more than that... on a personal level. Because it鈥檚 the result of a long personal struggle with Angst.

We know the Law鈥檚 something Kafka鈥檚 imperious Dad really believed in, and something he felt it was young Franzl鈥檚 duty to believe, too.

So Kafka senior pounded it into his son鈥檚 soul.

You see that in spades in that famous story in which his Dad tells him to jump off the long end of a short pier. And he does.

Why, in the name of all that鈥檚 right and proper?

That鈥檚 just the way it is. My way or the highway, kid!

And so Franz wrote, and wrote, and WROTE - to let the steam out. As you and I do too.

Finally, here, he couldn鈥檛 argue with his superego anymore. He was finally gonna take the straight and narrow path. Cause it was so right, it was absurd.

And that鈥檚 what K learned when he came of age. We are NOTHING to the universe.

Did he go ballistic as a result?

You bet! That鈥檚 the Meaning of the Absurd, which all of us must face. Every day of our lives!

For the Trial IS our daily workaday grind. You can鈥檛 Pooh-Pooh your coming of age again.

We are accused; we are belittled; we are slandered behind our back. And we go on. We NEED our job. We get enraged. But we go on...

It鈥檚 built into our lives. It鈥檚 a total disconnect - like COVID-19, it鈥檚 a great Grand Canyon that makes a huge gap in our minds between subjectivity and objectivity.

When we鈥檙e at home, we try to relax. We let loose on the phone; we harangue our tormentors in our dreams; we get even. But that鈥檚 not what Kafka meant.

We HATE the conditions that are laid out for our life.

Auden memorably says our pet dogs often 鈥渨ish their Tall Conditions (us) Dead鈥� - just as we often see daggers in our minds when we see our absurdly condition-imposing leaders.

But law is law. Can we learn, maybe, to follow it in spite of itself? For we鈥檙e really just:

Men and bits of paper.

Not one law at the office, and one law at home and on vacation.

No.

For Kafka now, The Soul is Answerable to the law of God. THAT was his Dad鈥檚 message. And this little realization was K鈥檚 first reluctant step towards Faith. One small step...

And his ultimate faith in the Law as Love.

A faith he finally starts to absorb in his last work, America.

Yes, the Self - in time and space - answers to the Law.

It hurts!

We kick and scream in pure anguish!

Agenbite of Inwit.

But like him, we DO as we are told. What option do we have?

But the Way that opens up to us in our books is really the same long and winding path that leads to the final reconciliation of Law and Love in the total transcendence of our pain.

Which Franz chose at the end.

Which I believe all started in this simple fork in the road:

Where we choose the Way of Obedience.

And in itself -

It鈥檚 a long and winding road.

I鈥檝e seen that road
So many times before -
Don鈥檛 leave me standing here
Lead me to Your Door!

And He will open it to you.

But where it all starts, is in a place we all love to hate:

In His Law.

A Law that means our Death, and our Life.

Chiar dac膬 ne place sau nu, acest roman a schimbat radical concep葲ia noastr膬 despre ce este (葯i poate 卯nsemna) literatura...
鈥濶u da prea mult膬 importan牛膬 comentariilor. Scriptura e invariabil膬 艧i comentariile nu s卯nt, adeseori, dec卯t expresia dezn膬dejdii comentatorilor鈥�.

Nota mea de lectur膬 nu va fi, totu葯i, o expresie a dezn膬dejdii. Din motivul cel mai simplu: c卯nd citea prietenilor din Procesul, Franz Kafka era cel dint卯i care izbucnea 卯n r卯s. Inten葲ia lui fusese s膬 st卯rneasc膬 ilaritate. Prietenii erau probabil uimi葲i, intriga葲i de bizara desf膬葯urare a 卯nt卯mpl膬rilor. Dar cum s膬 nu vezi 卯n paginile c膬r葲ii o inten葲ie comic膬?

Joseph K. (30 de ani) este arestat, dar nu va afla niciodat膬 motivul acestei decizii. Nu e dus 卯n temni葲膬, are voie s膬 mearg膬 la slujb膬 (lucreaz膬 la o banc膬) 葯i s膬 tr膬iasc膬 dup膬 bunul lui plac. Nu e c膬utat de anchetatori, ci el trebuie s膬 porneasc膬 卯n c膬utarea lor. Nu exist膬 o acuza葲ie propriu-zis膬. Totul pare un zvon. C卯nd este convocat la interogatorii, nu i se precizeaz膬 locul 卯nt卯lnirii 葯i e nevoit s膬 r膬t膬ceasc膬 prin cl膬diri insalubre, cu od膬i mizere, cu sc膬ri care nu duc nic膬ieri, cu paznici abulici 葯i femei care spal膬 rufe (卯nt卯lnirea cu Leni). Un astfel de edificiu meschin contrazice v膬dit m膬re葲ia unui Palat de Justi葲ie. Totul e o parodie caricatural膬. Mai mult: c卯nd r膬sfoie葯te c膬r葲ile de pe masa anchetatorilor, protagonistul nu g膬se葯te enciclopediii juridice, tomuri de legi 葯i nici lucr膬ri de specialitate. Judec膬torii s卯nt pasiona葲i de literatura erotic膬 葯i privesc fotografii deocheate. Citind pasajul de mai jos, nu-葲i po葲i reprima r卯sul:
鈥濳. lu膬 volumul de deasupra, 卯l deschise 艧i d膬du cu ochii de o gravur膬 indecent膬: un b膬rbat 艧i o femeie 艧edeau goi pe o canapea; inten牛ia gravorului fusese v膬dit obscen膬, dar st卯ng膬cia desenului f膬cea s膬 se vad膬 doar un b膬rbat 艧i o femeie exagerat de 牛epeni, care p膬reau c膬 ies din cadru 艧i nu izbuteau dec卯t cu greu s膬 se priveasc膬, din pricina perspectivei gre艧ite. K. nu r膬sfoi volumul mai departe, ci deschise un altul, la pagina titlului; avea acum 卯n fa牛膬 un roman intitulat: 芦Torturile pe care Grete le-a 卯ndurat de la so葲ul ei, Hans禄鈥�.

Executorii din final au aspectul cel mai ridicol 葯i stupid cu putin葲膬: 鈥灻巒 redingot膬, palizi 葯i gra葯i, cei doi domni purtau 葲ilindre 卯nalte, care p膬reau 葲intuite pe 葲estele lor鈥�. Cine a mai v膬zut un g卯de 卯mpodobit ca pentru un bal mascat? Prozatorul 卯nf膬葲i葯eaz膬 o lume pe dos. Evenimentele s卯nt imprevizibile. A葯tept膬rile cititorilor nu se 卯mplinesc niciodat膬. 脦n catedral膬, 卯n locul Scripturii, preotul cite葯te 葯i comenteaz膬 o parabol膬 kafkian膬, 鈥灻巒 fa葲a Legii鈥�.

IO SO CHE TU SAI CHE IO SO


Giovanni Battista Piranesi

Qualcuno doveva aver calunniato Josef K., perch茅 un mattino, senza che avesse fatto niente di male, fu arrestato.
Tutto comincia di mattina, al risveglio, come la pazzesca vicenda di Gregor Samsa in La metamorfosi, che un mattino si svegli貌 e si scopr矛 trasformato in scarafaggio. Il risveglio 猫 il momento pi霉 rischioso del giorno, quello di maggiore fragilit脿 esistenziale.
La storia dura un anno: dal trentesimo compleanno del protagonista alla viglia del suo trentunesimo, giorno in cui la Giustizia degli uomini lo condanna ed esegue la sentenza di colpevolezza.


Maurits Cornelis Escher

Per quanto incompiuto, e pubblicato postumo, io lo giudico il miglior Kafka insieme a La metamorfosi. Siamo a vertici altissimi considerato che i due romanzi conclusi, America e Il castello sono praticamente due capolavori.
E, sbrigo subito pratica che sento ineludibile: il protagonista del magnifico romanzo di Coetzee, Michael K (Life and Time of Michael K.), mi pare un palese omaggio all鈥檌mmenso scrittore di Praga (che scriveva in tedesco).

Altro omaggio che sento di voler pagare 猫 al bistrattato ma magnifico film omonimo di Orson Welles, The Trial, con l鈥檌nquietante Anthony 鈥淧sycho鈥� Perkins, il nostro grande Arnoldo Fo脿, che era perfettamente in grado di recitare in inglese, e un parterre di attrici da brivido: la nostra Elsa Martinelly, Romy Schneider, Jeanne Moreau.


Paul Delvaux

Il processo per un鈥檃ccusa che non viene mai davvero enunciata. E quindi, qual 猫 la colpa? Come difendersi? Come dimostrare la propria innocenza?
E se non si conosce il capo d鈥檌mputazione, sappiamo davvero chi sia l鈥檃ccusato Joseph K., omonimo del protagonista dell鈥檃ltro romanzo Il castello: nient鈥檃ltro. Perch茅 a quella kappa maiuscola non segue mai il resto del cognome?
Ansia, angoscia, inquietudine: tutte servite su un piatto d鈥檃rgento costituito da questi dieci capitoli.


Ren茅 Magritte

Emozioni che crescono con lo scorrere delle pagine: Joseph K. 猫 accusato, ma non gli dicono di o per cosa 鈥� per貌 lo avvisano che c鈥櫭� un processo in corso a suo carico, hanno gi脿 cominciato a processarlo senza avvertirlo! Ma non deve preoccuparsi, i poliziotti, che si sono ben guardati dall鈥檌dentificarsi con chiarezza, lo lasciano libero, e pu貌 perfino continuare a lavorare in banca.
Tuttavia Joseph K. vuole affrontare la questione senza aspettare. Ma fatica a trovare il tribunale, che 猫 in un quartiere periferico, in un palazzo anonimo, e la sua aula 猫 in soffitta! Non basta: l鈥檜dienza 猫 affollatissima, ma perch茅 mai tutta quella gente 猫 curiosa di seguire la sorte processuale di Joseph K. che neppure conosce?


Max Ernst.

Joseph commette il primo errore: nel primo interrogatorio si lancia in una lunga dichiarazione che 猫 un atto d鈥檃ccusa all鈥檌ntero sistema giudiziario. Come se le cose funzionassero secondo logica. Come se Kafka non avesse trascinato il suo protagonista e il lettore nel regno dell鈥檃ssurdo.


Romy Schneider, Anthony Perkins e Orson Welles sul set.

Segreta 猫 la colpa, sconosciuti sono i giudici, misterioso il funzionamento giudiziario: il Potere si difende aumentando le difficolt脿. Non 猫 neppure certo che le difese scritte inviate alla corte vengano davvero lette, men che meno prese in considerazione. Appare sempre pi霉 evidente che nessuno viene ritenuto mai davvero innocente: e una volta che l鈥檃ccusa 猫 lanciata, la colpa verr脿 provata, e la sentenza eseguita.
Incubo? Allucinazione? Paradosso? Surreale? Distopia? Sedimenti cabalistici, racconti talmudici, frammenti di mistica ebraica?
Eppure ci sono momenti comici, divertenti.
Atmosfera che pi霉 kafkiana non 猫 possibile.

Gli parve che la vergogna gli dovesse sopravvivere.


Orson Welles impegnato nella regia del film.

The tortured bureaucratic world described in The Trial always strikes me as startlingly modern. I wondered

How The Trial might have started if Kafka had been an academic writing in 2010

K's latest conference paper had been rejected, and now he sat in front of his laptop and read through the referees' comments. One of them, evidently not a native speaker of English, had sent a page of well-meaning advice, though K was unsure whether he understood his recommendations. The second referee had only written three lines, in a dismissive tone that hurt K's feelings. K had an appointment with his thesis advisor later that day, and wondered whether it would appear more constructive to rewrite the paper for submission to another conference, or to say that he was drawing a line so that he could concentrate on his dissertation.

He was trying to decide between these two courses of action, neither of which greatly appealed to him, when his officemate arrived. Fr盲ulein M眉ller, a pale, slightly-built, earnest girl with wispy brown hair, was writing an extremely dull dissertation on the discourse semantics of phone sex; K had never dared ask her why she had chosen this topic, which seemed singularly ill-adapted to her general demeanour. Today, she was also in a bad mood. She sat down and opened her own laptop without saying a word, and typed industriously. After about twenty minutes, she looked up and sighed.

"Problems?" asked K.

Fr盲ulein M眉ller sighed again. Then, in an uninflected monotone, she read a crude and unimaginatively pornographic passage, to which K listened attentively. He was, as usual, embarrassed to discover that he had become sexually aroused; but Fr盲ulein M眉ller never once allowed her eyes to stray from her screen, and K was fairly sure that his momentary excitement had passed unnoticed. She concluded, and opened a spreadsheet.

"Do you believe that she is actually touching herself here, or that she is merely saying that she would do so in her fantasy?" she asked tiredly.

K considered the matter. "I think it's only in the fantasy," he said after a while. "But I'm not sure. Maybe 60%."

Fr盲ulein M眉ller filled in two boxes in her spreadsheet.

"Now, suppose that she had said `will' instead of `must' in the last sentence. Would your judgement still be the same?"

K asked her to read the sentence again. "I would say that made it more likely," he said, after further careful thought. "80%. I'm definitely not certain."

Fr盲ulein M眉ller filled in two more boxes, and examined the new figures that appeared at the bottom of the sheet. "Not statistically significant," she said in a dejected tone. "I know I shouldn't keep checking all the time, but I can't help it. I need more data."

K had several times been on the point of asking Fr盲ulein M眉ller where her examples came from, but was afraid that this might appear intrusive; he knew almost nothing about her private life. He suddenly realised that he was meant to be seeing his advisor in a quarter of an hour. Apologising awkwardly, he put on his coat and left. The walk across the campus was, however, shorter than he had remembered, and he arrived in good time. Professor Holz appeared surprised to see him, and K reminded him that they had agreed to meet.

K's advisor was thickset and completely bald, despite only being in his mid-forties. He had a second position at another university, and was rarely to be found in his office; normally K would have been glad to have cornered him and be able to ask for advice, but today he could not think of anything to say. He waited for Professor Holz to take the initiative. K's advisor seemed equally at a loss. He took off his rimless glasses, and polished them carefully before speaking.

"So, K," he began, typing as he did so. "I understand your paper was rejected."

K confirmed that this was indeed true.

"Well," continued Professor Holz, "I think we both agree about the nature of the problem."

K was in fact unsure what the professor was referring to; he knew though that he had reservations about the research direction K had chosen, and assumed that this was a veiled allusion to the objections he had raised at their last meeting. He cleared his throat in a way that could be interpreted as assent.

"I understand, however," said Holz, "that your collaboration with Fr盲ulein M眉ller has been more successful."

K looked at his advisor carefully, trying to guess whether he was being ironic, but was unable to tell. He agreed hesitantly, trying to sound as noncommital as he could in case it was a trap. But the professor suddenly looked at his watch and rose, exclaiming that he had forgotten another meeting. He smiled apologetically to K as he escorted him from the room, and locked the door.

"I would appreciate a progress report before the end of the week," he said, as they stood in front of the elevator. "You have heard, of course, that the new funding cuts oblige us to reexamine our priorities."

This sounded vaguely familiar to K, who had however assumed that he was not one of the people affected.

"It's mainly a formality," said the professor. "None the less, I would like you to take it seriously and do a thorough job. It is particularly important that you describe your short-term objectives."

There were several questions that K urgently wished to ask, but at that moment the elevator arrived. The professor disappeared into it, saying something that K was unable to catch. He took the stairs down to street level, and walked slowly back to his office. Fr盲ulein M眉ller now seemed much more animated, and suggested to K that they eat lunch together at the Italian restaurant they both liked.

"I'm sorry I was like that earlier," she said as they finished their spaghetti. "It's this horrible report. I'm so glad I've finally turned it in. I suppose you did yours days ago."

K waved his hand in a gesture of vague assent, though he was now starting to feel rather concerned.

"Oh good!" said Fr盲ulein M眉ller, and smiled at him in a way that, for a moment, almost made her look attractive. "Then maybe I can ask you to give me some more linguistic judgements? I think the new batch of stories is better than usual."

K could think of no way to decline this offer; so, for the rest of the afternoon, he listened to Fr盲ulein M眉ller and patiently answered her questions. Around 4 pm, he received an email reminding him that the progress report was due by the end of the following day. He attempted to think about it while simultaneously listening to Fr盲ulein M眉ller, but this proved to be impossible. Twice, she interrupted him with a puzzled air, and pointed out inconsistencies in his answers. K was forced to give her his full attention.

When it was time to leave, he had still not begun the report. He tried to muster his ideas as he walked home, and had almost reached his apartment when he realised that he had forgotten his laptop at the office.

Josef K. (just his initial is revealed), a banker in the beautiful city of Prague, now the capital of the Czech Republic, during the last days of the crumbling Austro- Hungarian Empire, before World War 1, such a man at the young age of thirty, to be in charge of a large bank's finances, yet he lives in a boarding house of Frau Grabach, why a successful person does, is a mystery. Maybe he likes the attractive women there, especially Fraulein Burstner, Josef is a bit of a wolf, then out of the sky, two men come to his room and arrest him, the arrogant guards even eat his breakfast, and try to take his good clothes too, the charge, they don't say or know or care! K. is shocked to the bone, but permitted to continue his ordinary work routine, a Twilight Zonish situation develops, K. ordered to see an examining magistrate and goes to an old apartment building, in a poor, shabby suburb of the city, finally after asking directions, Josef arrives on the fifth floor, late and finding the filthy hall full of people of various kinds, all of them look at Josef, as the main attraction there . The uncaring judge thinks he's a house painter, when K. informs him that he's the chief financial officer of a bank, the crowd has a big, long laugh, how can Josef take his trial seriously? The angry magistrate is powerless to control the boisterous gathering, and after many more such meetings , in rooms with dirty air, which makes the defendant quite sick, Josef in one place, is carried out of the building, to get fresh air, to resuscitate him. Days and weeks pass, Uncle Karl, from the country visits K. the concerned uncle, has heard of his nephew's troubles, and takes him to an old lawyer friend, Dr. Huld, the lawyer has lots of contacts but Huld is a very sick, old man, K. doesn't trust him either or anybody else. Other men he sees for aid, a painter, merchant, manufacturer and a priest, as his final hope, but nothing can get him off, his unknown perilous path, his darkness increases steadily. A nightmarish life hits hard the accused , and still no one tells him what crime was committed! The helpless banker feels the power of the State's Bureaucracy and his work at the bank suffers, as a consequence, substantially, it matter not that K. is innocent, no one asks him if he is guilty! Will this bad, horrendous dream ever end? The limited rights that any man has against an omniscient , totalitarian government, is shown in this remarkable novel.

Such is life that some people are convicted of nonexistent crimes while others are elevated to brilliant careers despite evident character deficiencies.

Who but Kafka can show the absurdity of "justice" in a world where power trumps reason, and political strength trumps fairness?

Is it only me turning paranoid, or does Kafka become more and more "realistic", as our world turns more and more "kafkaesque"?

Maybe the Non-Nobel Prize in Literature this year could go posthumously to all those dystopian, surrealistic writers that saw our world of today before it existed? To Kafka, Orwell and Borges - from the Swedish Non-Academy, convulsively in the Process of Metamorphosis to Kafka's bugs? A Non-Nobel to Kafka for prophetically writing his Cassandra-call to a blind and deaf-mute humanity!

A Crazy Train
All Aboard!



No novel comes close to this one in the intensely nightmarish portrayal of the type of dark "justice" of dictatorial governments, particularly those that came to power after its 1925 publication.

THE TRIAL, also like no other, gives the reader a special, and by all means necessary, appreciation for the criminal justice system and the fundamental rights of life and liberty that we take for granted in a democracy.

Imagine: you are charged with a crime, but no one will tell you what that crime is, who specifically (what part of government) is charging you with the crime and/or is tasked with prosecuting the charges against you, where to read the law that prohibits the forbidden act, omission or conspiracy, when you committed the "crime," who accused you, the substance of the evidence against you (even in general terms), who or what was harmed, when your trial will take place, who will be charged with finding you guilty or innocent, what type of punishment you may face, whether you may appeal, among other missing items. Then, when you talk to court workers and even your own lawyer, there may be some nebulous way to avoid prosecution but no one can say exactly what that is and otherwise it's a foregone conclusion that you will be found guilty, your best hope being to drag out the process as long as you can just to stay alive as this crazy train hurtles toward your inevitable end.

A historic classic masterwork that plants in its reader bad-dream seeds that may not germinate for years, but they will... yes, they will.

First, a quick summary of this horrible, horrible novel. Some jackass gets arrested, he does things you would not do, sees people you would not see and has thoughts you would not have. After that, a priest and a parable then, mercifully, the end.

Now my thoughts. K. is a pompous ass with a very important job - to him. The bureaucrats are the best part of the whole story, all job description, no brains (like now!). K's uncle, lawyer and landlady are very forgettable. Fr盲ulein B眉rstner is intriguing, so is Titorelli. The priest is a tool and his parable made me think I was reading the novelisation of "The Never Ending Story". The ending made me smile, it was the end after all.

Kafka's Last Trial - The New York Times

Reading Franz Kafka's The Trial is a frustrating experience, but that's at least partially the point. Our protagonist, Josef K is arrested, but neither he nor the reader know why he's been arrested. The remaining narrative is a sort of judgment on all the decisions he's made. Although he is 'free' for most of the novel, K's trial consumes all his time, and he is locked in a course of events over which he has little or no control.

How are we to judge K's trial? Indeed, K's entire ordeal is impossible to come to grips with. The process of the trial playing out even if it is not outwardly 'in session' and K's own processing of events, forces us to recognize that our decisions are consequential. Even decisions that don't seem significant. This is especially apparent at the end of the novel (which brings us to a sort of tragic anticlimactic climax). It's difficult to determine if such an end is inevitable, or, for that matter, whether K's fate is for him alone or for all of us.

Somebody must have made a false accusation against me, for I was accused of not having read The Trial without having even raised the topic. I fixed up a brew, poked in a madeleine, and summoned up the liars of recall. I recalled my sixteen-year-old self, in his bedroom in his backwater home town, feasting on Vonnegut, Poe, and Kafka one miserable summer . . . then the liars spoke to me: 鈥淎re you merely inserting Kafka鈥檚 The Trial as a book you ought to have read during that summer of pain, when in actual fact . . . ?鈥� I knew I had seen Orson Welles鈥檚 frenetic adaptation from the 60s, because I recall thinking: 鈥業 can鈥檛 remember this section from The Trial, I wonder what Welles invented.鈥� Because, perhaps, in actual fact, in spite of those proud teenage brags, I hadn鈥檛 actually read The Trial at all? I writhed in agony for two days, desperate to prise details of that first reading to appease my accusers. Then I simply checked out The Trial from the library and read the bastard. Quite possibly for the FIRST time. There we are. Masterpiece. Screw you, memory.
