The Trial
by Franz Kafka
Some stories unsettle us not because of what they show, but because of how little certainty they offer. The Trial begins quietly, yet gradually turns into a world where rules remain unclear and answers seem forever out of reach. A novel both frustrating and strangely compelling — perhaps that is exactly why it lingers in the mind.
