Very Good+, bound in full genuine leather with gilt decorations, page edges and a hubbed spine. Minor edge wear with small bumps to bottom page edges. Text is clean and unmarked. 8vo 9"h x 7"w. Introduced by Erich Heller, illustrated by Alan E. Sober and translated from German by Willa and Edwin Muir. "The most significant and effective of Franz Kafka's writing, The Trial is one of the most intriguing novels ever written in any language. Its whole fictional fabric has the terrible plausibility of a nightmare from which there is no awakening. Yet the opening situation hardly seems capable of developing into a tale of such intense psychological depth. This Great Books of the 20th Century edition of The Trail is a superbly printed and beautifully bound volume. The finest archival-quality paper has been radiantly gilded. The genuine leather cover is deeply inlaid with an appropriate design and the spine is elegantly titled in precious 22kt gold. Other deluxe features include Smyth-sewn pages, moire fabric end sheets and a satin ribbon page marker."
