 The novel, written between 1914 and 1915, was first published in 1925, and is one of Kafka's 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.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trial].

It is a grim caricature of the nameless, formless, inchoate march of modern society towards the suppression or abolition of the individual." ([[Little Theatre]] programme, August 1960).
