The Trial: Franz Kafka - Bitig Books Classics
Franz Kafka
Written in 1914 but not published until 1925, a year after Kafka’s death, 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, The Trial has resonated with chilling truth for generations of readers.

A philosophical book and you have to read between the lines a lot.
This is the second book I read of Kafka and have cemented my opinion that his books are not for me.
It does have a purpose, a meaning, but you really have to analyse and try to understand what you're reading, which is not where I found it isn't for me, but rather I disliked that the author criticised the legal system with too many words that said nothing and something disguised as nothing. That seemed to take me nowhere.
