KAFKA, Franz : The Trial

Gollancz, 1937

A very good copy in the original pale blue cloth, spine darkedned with some light staining, lower corners worn, scattered foxing throughout text, internal hinges crackes, private circulating library date and other stamps on endpapers. For all the faults mentioned, an acceptable copy of a scarce and important book, a cornerstone of 20th century literature.
