The Trial is a classic novel of existentialism and an allegory on totalitarianism by Franz Kafka.
Summary of the Book
Josef K., a respectable bank officer, is arrested suddenly. He is offered no reasons as to his charge, and he must defend himself at court. He is only informed that his situation is extremely dire and hopeless. The ensuing trial, and the circumstances of his arrest showcase Kafka’s affinity to churn out a tale that can evoke the darkest corridors of the human psyche. The story is considered to be a satirical allegory, a prophetic parable on the excesses of modern bureaucracy and its affiliation to totalitarian ideals, and a tale on existentialism.

It is Kafka's Trial
This is the book which gave birth to the dictionary word "kafkaesque". See wikipedia for details.
The book is a quite simple story of a man. The story itself is not at all complicated, and is very easy to read. There is no difficulty to understand anything narrated, but there will be a little unease in your mind as you read.
