På sin trettioårsdag vaknar K. till den olustiga nyheten att han är häktad. Någon information om vilket brott han ska ha begått får han inte. I stället tillåts han att som vanligt gå till jobbet på banken - i väntan på ett första förhör. Steg för steg får K. sitt liv invaderat av antydningar om skuld och straff. I de förtvivlade försöken att kommunicera med myndigheterna får berättelsen sin oundvikliga gång. Franz Kafkas Processen hör till världslitteraturens mest berömda verk. Som ingen annan gestaltar Kafka den moderna människans sprattlande inför Lagen som ren idé, Lagen som begär - en människa vars verklighet, både till det inre och det yttre, genomsyrats av byråkrati. I svensk översättning av Ingegärd Martinell. FRANZ KAFKA [1883-1924] var en tyskspråkig tjeckisk prosaist. En stor del av hans verk publicerades postumt, mot hans vilja. I dag anses han vara en av 1900-talets viktigaste och mest inflytelserika författare.
