Der Prozess: Roman
Kafka, Franz
"Der Prozess: Roman" by Franz Kafka is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book begins with the mysterious arrest of the protagonist, Josef K., who is accused of an unspecified crime without any explanation or due process. This surreal scenario sets the stage for an exploration of themes such as alienation, the absurdity of law, and the struggle for personal agency within a faceless bureaucracy.  The opening of the novel introduces us to Josef K., who wakes up one morning to find himself inexplicably arrested by two wardens in his own apartment. Despite their insistence that he is under arrest, they provide no details about the charges against him or the authority behind his detention. As K. navigates this bewildering situation, he grapples with confusion and frustration, questioning the absurd nature of the legal system and the motivations of those involved. This disorienting introduction invites readers to delve into K.'s plight as he attempts to regain control and understand the world turned upside down around him.
