+++ Attention: Nicer new version +++ "Someone must have slandered Josef K., because without having done anything wrong, he was arrested one morning." This famous opening line takes the reader into Franz Kafka's surreal world and doesn't let him out again so quickly. SOMMERS WELTLITERATUR TO GO condenses the PROCESS into a digestible nine and a half minutes. Bank clerk Josef K. is arrested and doesn't know why. The trial he is subjected to is a series of bureaucratic absurdities, threateningly mysterious encounters and grueling, endless waiting loops that give rise to the term "Kafkaesque" as a literary version of a disturbing trip. Until his execution, Josef K. neither learns the reason for the accusation nor finds understandable answers to his many questions. The court and the question of law and jurisdiction remain unsolved mysteries until the end. "The lie is being made into the world order." (Josef K.) Warning: THIS TO-GO VERSION DOES NOT REPLACE READING THE ORIGINAL. My recommendation: Read it or play it yourself.
