Trial A New Translation Based on the Restored Text

"...I have read 'The Trial', and not in a long time have I come upon a novel which, without being in any vulgar sense spectacular, is more astonishing....It keeps one foot so solidly on the ground that you can think of few books which stay there more firmly with both feet. But its other foot swings far out into space, conferring upon the literal action of the story a depth of meaning--or if meaning if often elusive, a power of suggestion--which can best be called visionary....No summary can convey the atmosphere which Kafka cunningly distills..."Kafka, Franz is the author of 'Trial A New Translation Based on the Restored Text', published 1999 under ISBN 9780805209990 and ISBN 0805209999.
