The Trial, reinvented in this graphic novel, is the chilling and bleakly amusing tale of Joseph K, a man arrested for reasons that are never revealed and who maintains his innocence in the face of the judicial process. Kafka's works have come to embody the mix of absurd, surreal and mundane which have given rise to the adjective kafkaesque. The Eye Classics series transforms some of the most important European and world classics into graphic novels, making them accessible to a wide audience.
