As he grows more uncertain of his fate, his personal life - including work at a bank and his relations with his landlady and a young woman who lives next door - becomes increasingly unpredictable. As K. tries to gain control, he succeeds only in accelerating his own excruciating downward spiral.\nThis is a stunning new Clothbound Classics edition of Kafka's major novel, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith and translated by Idris Parry. These delectable and collectible Penguin editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52156769665312,"sku":"9780241820483","price":16.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780241820483_3051664.jpg?v=1786031181","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-trial-franz-kafka-9780241820483","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
