Franz Kafka: The Complete Novels

This book contains the complete novels of Franz Kafka in the chronological
order of their original publication. \- The Trial Written in 1914, The Trial
is the terrifying tale of Josef K., a respectable bank officer who is suddenly
and inexplicably arrested and must defend himself against a charge about which
he can get no information. Whether read as an existential tale, a parable, or
a prophecy of the excesses of modern bureaucracy wedded to the madness of
totalitarianism, Kafka's nightmare has resonated with chilling truth for
generations of readers. \- The Castle Left unfinished by Kafka in 1922 and not
published until 1926, two years after his death, The Castle is the haunting
tale of K.’s relentless, unavailing struggle with an inscrutable authority in
order to gain access to the Castle. \- Amerika Here is the story of young Karl
Rossman, who, following an incident involving a housemaid, is banished by his
parents to America. With unquenchable optimism and in the company of two
comic-sinister companions, he throws himself into misadventure, eventually
heading towards Oklahoma, where a career in the theater beckons.
