The Trial is a novel written by Franz Kafka from 1914 to 1915 and published 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. After Kafka's death in 1924 his friend and literary executor Max Brod edited the text for publication by Verlag Die Schmiede. The original manuscript is held at the Museum of Modern Literature, Marbach am Neckar, Germany. The first English language translation, by Willa and Edwin Muir, was published in 1937. In 1999, the book was listed in Le Monde's 100 Books of the Century and as No. 2 of the Best German Novels of the Twentieth Century.

Franz Kafka

Autor

Praga, 1883 - Kierling, Austria, 1924. Escritor checo en lengua alemana. Nacido en el seno de una familia de comerciantes judíos, Franz Kafka se formó en un ambiente cultural alemán, y se doctoró en Derecho. Pronto empezó a interesarse por la mística y la religión judías, que ejercieron sobre él una notable influencia. Su obra, que nos ha llegado en contra de su voluntad expresa, pues ordenó a su íntimo amigo y consejero literario Max Brod que, a su muerte, quemara todos sus manuscritos, constituye una de las cumbres de la literatura alemana y se cuenta entre las más influyentes e innovadoras del siglo XX. En 1913, el editor Rowohlt accedió a publicar su primer libro, Meditaciones, que reunía extractos de su diario personal, pequeños fragmentos en prosa de una inquietud espiritual penetrante y un estilo profundamente innovador, a la vez lírico, dramático y melodioso. Sin embargo, el libro pasó desapercibido; los siguientes tampoco obtendrían ningún éxito fuera de un círculo íntimo de amigos y admiradores incondicionales. Entre 1913 y 1919 Franz Kafka escribió El proceso, La metamorfosis y La condena y publicó El fogonero, que incorporaría más adelante a su novela América, En la colonia penitenciaria y el volumen de relatos Un médico rural.
