From Amazon.com

The story of The Trial's publication is almost as fascinating as the novel itself. Kafka intended his parable of alienation in a mysterious bureaucracy to be burned, along with the rest of his diaries and manuscripts, after his death in 1924. Yet his friend Max Brod pressed forward to prepare The Trial and the rest of his papers for publication. When the Nazis came to power, publication of Jewish writers such as Kafka was forbidden; Kafka's writings, many of which have distinctively Jewish themes, did not find a broad audience until after World War II. (Hannah Arendt once observed that although "during his lifetime he could not make a decent living, [Kafka] will now keep generations of intellectuals both gainfully employed and well-fed.") Among the current crop of Kafka heirs is Breon Mitchell, the translator of this edition of The Trial. Rather than tidying up Kafka's unconventional grammar and punctuation (as previous translators have done), Mitchell captures the loose, uneasy, even uncomfortable constructions of Kafka's original story. His translation technique is the only way to convey the comedy and confusion of this narrative, in which Josef K., "without having done anything truly wrong," is arrested, tried, convicted and executed--on a charge that is never disclosed to him. --Michael Joseph Gross


From Library Journal

Kafka's final work was left unfinished at the time of his 1924 death, and the original 1925 and subsequent editions were edited according to the standards of the day. This edition endeavors to restore the text as closely as possible to the original manuscript. According to the publisher, "This translation makes slight changes in the chapter divisions and sequence of chapter fragments." In addition to the text, this volume includes a bibliography and a chronology of the author's life.

4.0étoiles sur 5 a new translation, Juil 8 2002
Par raffer (San Francisco, California, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Ce commentaire est de: The Trial (Paperback)
First, if you don't want to know what happens at the end of the novel, don't read the translator's preface before reading the text. He may be an enthusiastic and exacting translator but not the most sensitive reviewer.

As for Kafka's story, I want to offer a somewhat different interpretation that might perhaps attract readers who are not interested in another despairing man against society theme. I think Kafka is telling us that we are free yet we are obsessed by our accusers and allow them to control us. The bad news is we choose to not to resist but to grumble and suffer subserviently. The good news is we don't have to. The interesting news is what we as a society who reads Kafka will choose to become. Do we read it and say, yep that's the mire we're stuck in? Or do we read it and realize that he is arming us with the power of insight, assertion, and choice in facing our lives.

Don't miss the last 30 pages or so including the chapter titled, "In the Cathedral". The story the priest tells K. and their ensuing discussion is fascinating and still has my mind whirling. If you know what it all means, tell me. Is there a support group for this book?

I must say that the "Fragments" included after the story lent little to my understanding of the whole. If you want more, it's there; if you don't, you wouldn't be missing anything by skipping it.

But don't skip the rest of it, particularly if, on one level, you just want to see a great writer's insights into the labyrinthine constructs of his own legal profession.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Just Because You're Paranoid..., Avril 5 2004
Ce commentaire est de: The Trial (Paperback)
This novel isn't just Kafka's best...it's the best novel of the 20th Century.

"The Trial" takes a surreal premise and drops it in a context so complete (the bizarre details alone make "The Trial" worth reading) that the story feels completely realistic. Picture "1984" with a neurotic streak.

Anyway, read it and prepare to remember it for the rest of your life.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Welcome, my son, to the machine, Janv. 5 2004
Par The Peruvian Wunderkind (Mississauga, ON Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Ce commentaire est de: The Trial (Paperback)
Kafka crafts a sometime eerie, sometime funny, but always fascinating work that details the criminal legal system's prosecution/persecution of a "Josef K." The book's famous first sentence ominously forebodes the grinding machine that slowly devours Josef: a nameless, invisible bureaucracy that is omnipotent in its reach and accountable to no one. Although many novels written in the 20th century have appropriated similar versions of totalitarianism (1984, Brave New World, etc.), it should be noted that The Trial provided the template and, if you ask me, continues to stand without peer in its brilliant construction of terror caused by absurdity. Indeed, this book is, unsurprisingly, the prototypical example of the 'Kafkaesque:' feelings of guilt and alienation triggered by menacing forces that are bound by their own impenetrable logic. Anyone interested in 20th century literature ought to do himself or herself a favour and read The Trial, since the Kafkaesque informs so many of the themes and approaches to writing adopted by the century's top stylists.
