Synopsis "Das Schloss (in German)"

"(...) dort oben ist die Behörde in ihrer unentwirrbaren Grö e - ich glaubte annähernde Vorstellungen von ihr zu haben, ehe ich hierherkam, wie kindlich war das alles (...)." K. wird von einem Grafen als Landvermesser beauftragt. Seine Versuche, den Auftrag auszuführen, sind jedoch zum Scheitern verurteilt. Eine unsichtbare Macht scheint ihn davon abzuhalten, in dessen Schloss zu gelangen. In seinem unvollendeten Roman "Das Schloss" beschreibt Franz Kafka das Ringen eines Mannes mit einem bürokratischen Apparat, der alles kontrolliert und gleichzeitig au er Kontrolle zu geraten scheint.

(Prague, Austro-Hungarian Empire, 1883 - Kierling, Austria, 1924) Bohemian writer in German language. His work, among the most influential in world literature, is a pioneer in the fusion of realistic elements with fantastic ones and focuses mainly on father-son conflicts, anxiety, existentialism, physical and psychological brutality, guilt, the philosophy of the absurd, bureaucracy, and spiritual transformations. He wrote notable novels and a large number of short stories, and also left behind extensive correspondence and autobiographical writings. His unique literary style has often been associated with the artistic philosophy of existentialism and expressionism. His personal relationships also had a significant impact on his writing. The term Kafkaesque is used in Spanish to describe bizarre situations, due to their absurdity and distressing nature.
