Kafka's The Trial Anonymous 2016-03-08 21:18:49 Post No. 7789537 [Report]

I loved reading The Metamorphosis and In the Penal Colony. I thought I would read The Trial next but when I searched for one to buy I found one that was called "The Trial: A New Translation Based on the Restored Text (The Schocken Kafka Library)" with almost double the page count of the regular one.

How does this work? I know that The Trial was unfinished, but it still had an ending, right?

Which one should I get?

The Castle was unfinished.. The regular version of The Trial is pretty complete within itself. I wouldn't bother with some kind of hashed-together updated edition if i were you, it will probably only detract from the experience.

This is a fine version that's the same thing as the Muir translation. All the unfinished fragments are included at the end so you can read if you'd like.
