Franz Kafka / Jan Grossman: Proces

Josef K. goes to bed as a free man and wakes up as a prisoner. He won't find out, but what he is accused of. He must seek the cause and meaning of his trial and find out what the truth is. But how long can a person keep looking for the truth when everything is so ambiguous and there are different, often completely contradictory answers to all questions. After all, there are so many temptations around us that don't force us to fumble, wander, or even think. After all, isn't it easier to resign yourself to the truth?
