<b>Part of the <i>Legend Classics </i>series</b></p><p><i>It's only because of their stupidity that they're able to be so sure of themselves.</i><p>A novel of such ambiguity will inevitably lend itself to a diversity of interpretation, but in <cite>The Trial </cite>you can at least be sure to find every element of storytelling now defined as <em>Kafkaesque</em>.<p>Josef K., our protagonist, is unexpectedly arrested on the morning of his thirtieth birthday. The agents who arrest him are unidentified, the agency they work for is unspecified, and the crime for which he has been accused is unknown. When he is released, shortly after, he is told to await further instruction. So begins the manic and emotionless trial of a man beholden to the whims of an unknown force, and his painstaking attempts to find a way out of this existential maze.</p><p><cite>The Trial</cite> brings into focus the absurdity of life, our universal fear of judgement, and one ultimate question: how much of this endless maze will you explore before you accept the fate life has bestowed upon you?</p><p>The <i>Legend Classics</i> series:<br />Around the World in Eighty Days<br />The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn<br />The Importance of Being Earnest<br />Alice's Adventures in Wonderland<br />The Metamorphosis<br />The Railway Children<br />The Hound of the Baskervilles<br />Frankenstein<br />Wuthering Heights<br />Three Men in a Boat<br />The Time Machine<br />Little Women<br />Anne of Green Gables<br />The Jungle Book<br />The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Stories<br />Dracula<br />A Study in Scarlet<br />Leaves of Grass<br />The Secret Garden<br />The War of the Worlds<br />A Christmas Carol<br />Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde<br />Heart of Darkness<br />The Scarlet Letter<br />This Side of Paradise<br />Oliver Twist<br />The Picture of Dorian Gray<br />Treasure Island<br />The Turn of the Screw<br />The Adventures of Tom Sawyer<br />Emma<br />The Trial<br />A Selection of Short Stories by Edgar Allan Poe<br />Grimm Fairy Tales<br />The Awakening<br />Mrs Dalloway<br />Gulliver’s Travels<br />The Castle of Otranto<br />Silas Marner<br />Hard Times</p>
