According to Max Brod, personal friend of Kafka, the book remained unfinished as it was when he gave Kafka's writings in 1920. After his death, Brod edited
The Process by which he judged a coherent novel and published it in 1925.

My review: As
Metamorphosis
, another wonderful masterpiece of Kafka's The Trial also distinguishes itself in metaphors, allegories, symbols: all this has to do with the great writer apparently absurd, that proves to be perfectly consistent.

I read this book the year before, and through him I became a fan of Kafka. He is considered alongside Joyce and Proust, as one of the greatest writers of the century. XX, and one can even claim that it was one of the greatest authors of all time. No other writer of contemporary literature [we are to understand: the century. XX] could be as forceful and embrace so completely - but subtle - the feelings, questions and conflicts of man in all forms, mainly due to the chaotic world in which we suffer positions War the consequences today. Through its excellent and complex allegories, seemingly absurd, he builds all these uncertainties and insecurities that plague us constantly. The atypical process in which Joseph K., the potagonista, is the victim, without knowing the reason for his accusation, it is a symbolization of the human environment in the modern world . The metaphors of Kafka are wide and allow a range of interpretations, but all with a common core, and hide content completely realistic, since they are the more stark reality. This process can be interpreted in the following perspective: an exhibition incompetence and cluttered nature of injustices and distortions of the Judiciary and the bureaucratic state in general, subduing the man so cruel, corrupt. But there is also the interpretation most comprehensive and complex, a world stunned punctuated by uncertainties in profusion of all sorts, in the forms of political ideologies, religious beliefs, current artistic and philosophical, moral and existential questions, etc..

modern man lost in a maelstrom ideas and information, and even more depressed and upset by the lack of truth or of truth in these ideas, even knowing what to hold on to some of them. Kafka displays these universal human dilemmas not only with unique originality, but also density, and these dilemmas are present in humans of any age. So for me, Kafka is not only extremely interesting, but uniquely timeless.

Another aspect of Kafka's work that impresses me is naturalism in their descriptions, both environments and emotions of the characters and the situations they find themselves, however they are raw or surreal. It's kind of ironic deadpan realist but occasionally exposing a dose of black humor. And specifically when dealing with environments
Process
, Kafka always describes them accurately, without "descriptivism" and using that same kind of deadpan, but providing such a description dark atmosphere, using noir and / or perceptually surreal. There times when Process
is suffocating the atmosphere itself descriptive, or one of those dreams that seems despite absurd develop with perfect visibility and realism in our subconscious to the point where we believe we are experiencing it genuinely. Review written on 06/03/2009.
