Note: Written from August to November of 1914 this was Kafka's second attempt to finish a full novel. It was the first of his three novels to be published. There do exist some editions that have another order of the chapters than the one by Max Brod.

Synopsis: Though the tag 'dystopia' is somewhat inapt it probably does strike the feeling of the novel: after all the highly hierarchical court and its multi-layered bureaucracy, to whose power Josef K. is helpless, is a projection into a land that didn't exist at the time the novel was written.
