The
 Trial (Kafka's original German title: Der Process, later as Der  
Prozess and Der Prozeß) is a novel by Franz Kafka, first published in  
1925. One of Kafka's best-known works, it tells the story of a man  
arrested and prosecuted by a remote, inaccessible authority, with the  
nature of his crime revealed neither to him nor the reader. Like Kafka's
 other novels, The Trial was never completed, although it  does include a
 chapter which brings the story to an end. Because of this  there are 
certain inconsistencies which exist within the novel, such as  
disparities in timing in addition to other flaws in narration. After 
Kafka's death in 1924, his friend and literary executor Max Brod  edited
 the text for publication.
