Part of the The complete classics series

Josef K, 30, lives in a large town in an unspecified country.

He is summonsed to answer a charge and appears in the court room for his trial.

Franz Kafka evokes all the reality of trial without any of the specifics in a society that seems to have degraded into chaos: squalid environment, rats, yellow liquid shooting out of a hole in the wall.

Guards, claustrophobia, anxiety - this is a gripping story and an allegory of modern life.

This text remains just as relevant a century after it was written.

Rupert Degas reads a new translation by David Whiting.
