Description
The Trial by Franz Kafka and The Life of Benvenuto Cellini by Benvenuto Cellini (Set of 2)
Beautifully presented, hard cover, embossed, in very good condition. Part of the series Books That Have Changed Man's Thinking.
The Trial by Franz Kafka is a haunting and surreal novel that follows Josef K., a man arrested and prosecuted by an inscrutable authority for a crime that is never revealed. As he navigates a labyrinthine and oppressive legal system, Josef descends into confusion, helplessness, and existential dread. The novel is a powerful allegory of bureaucratic absurdity, guilt, and the individual's struggle against unknowable forces, reflecting Kafka’s themes of alienation and the elusive nature of justice.
The Life of Benvenuto Cellini by Benvenuto Cellini is a vivid and candid autobiography of the famed Renaissance goldsmith, sculptor, and adventurer. Written in a bold and self-assured tone, Cellini recounts his artistic triumphs, brushes with royalty and popes, street brawls, imprisonments, and supernatural visions. The work offers a unique first-person glimpse into the turbulent, colorful world of Renaissance Italy and remains one of the most engaging and flamboyant autobiographies in Western literature.
