First UK edition, first impression. 8vo. Original cloth. Dust-jacket corresponding to all relevant first issue points.
First published in 1925 in Germany as Der Prozess. The UK first is based on a translation by Edwin & Willa Muir. The dust jacket reads: "The Trial, although only now translated, may justly be called one of the most famous—and, many would add, one of the few really great—novels of our time." An epilogue by Max Brod also appears in the book.
An excellent example of a 20th century literary highlight and rare in dust-jacket.
