Oikeusjuttu by Franz Kafka
A respectable bank clerk is arrested one morning without being told the charges and becomes trapped in an opaque, nightmarish legal system where baffling officials, evasive lawyers, and labyrinthine procedures turn his attempts at defense into a humiliating, futile scramble; as he navigates increasingly surreal hearings and encounters, uncertainty and a pervasive sense of guilt engulf him, and the inscrutable machinery of authority grinds toward a final, inevitable sentence.
