Publisher’s Summary
Josef K. is an employee at a bank, an Everyman without any particular qualities or ambitions. His inconsequence makes doubly strange his “arrest” by an officer of the court, made with no formal charges or explanation.
Disoriented and consumed with guilt for a “crime” he does not understand, Josef K. must justify his life to a “court” with which he cannot communicate. The defendant can only ask questions, but receives no answers to clarify the surreal world in which he is compelled to wander.
Through the court’s relentless bureaucratic proceedings and absurd juxtapositions of different hypotheses of cause and effect, the whole rational structure of the world is undermined. The trial of Josef K. becomes a chilling existential metaphor for life itself, where every sentence is a sentence of death.

Critic Reviews
“Howard’s British accent and deep monotone set the proper dark tone for the book….Howard acts as our intellectual guide by emphasizing key passages and marking them as worthy of interpretation and discussion.” ( AudioFile)

i dont know reading the summary makes me remind of a case my father was roped into for simply doing his job honestly which made him a scapegoat for people who abused their govt power and did corruption , how the law , the court and judges instead of finding out the truth just kept on prolonging his pain and after twenty year of psycological , economic toll on his body , finances and the drinking and domestic violence from going to court with fear that the judge is gonna convict him , well it was a mess lord knows how my family survived those times but anyway thanks for sharing

That sounds truly awful, arnold. Oftentimes we go to court expecting Justice, but what we get instead is Law.
