An ordinary man who wakes up one day to find himself accused of a crime he did not commit, a crime whose nature is never revealed to him. Once arrested, he is released but must report to court on a regular basis - an event that proves maddening, as nothing is ever resolved. As he grows more uncertain of his fate, his personal life - including work at a bank and his relations with his landlady and a young woman who lives next door - becomes increasingly unpredictable. As K. tries to gain control, he succeeds only in accelerating his own excruciating downward spiral.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Franz Kafka is one of the best-known German-language authors. Born in Prague in 1883, Franz Kafka belonged to the German-speaking Jewish minority, which made him feel somewhat of an outsider. He also felt little acceptance from his family and suffered throughout his life with his father in particular, who would have preferred his son to be a businessman rather than a writer. Kafka's stories mostly revolve around human experiences. They poetically describe the feeling of being lost, alone and helpless in this world. All of these feelings are universal and they apply to people then and now, all over the world, which is why Kafka is read and understood around the globe.
