L’ouvrage fournit toutes les clés pour analyser le roman de Franz Kafka et le film d’Orson Welles. • Les résumés et les repères pour la lecture des deux œuvres sont suivis de l’étude des problématiques essentielles, parmi lesquelles : – Frank Kafka et Le Procès – Orson Welles et Le Procès de Kafka – Qui est Joseph K. ? – Un roman de l’absurde ? – L’onirisme – Le thème de la faute.
“Someone must have been telling lies about Josef K., he knew he had done nothing wrong but, one morning, he was arrested.”
Franz Kafka never completed “The Trial” by himself. He even called it an “Artistic Failed Attempt”.
The only thing Kafka saw in human life is one endless trial, which is obnoxious and merciless, which keeps on running forever. The arrest of the protagonist happens on his thirtieth birthday not by any sort of accident. He is arrested of charge he or even the court officials are unaware of, and has to navigate through the red tape to fight a trial against an unknown foe in a court that is not accessible. The Trial provokes simple thoughts and ideas in mind which turn complex. Rather they’re about of justice, power, authority or truth.
