Synopsis "The Castle"

\n
\n

The haunting classic about hope, fear and absurdity - Franz Kafka''s The Castle is an expressionistic masterpiece.

An imposing castle looms over a village and no one seems to be allowed inside...not even K., the Land Surveyor whose livelihood depends on getting inside. Though never completed due to Kafka''s untimely death, The Castle paints a striking image of absurdity and the nature of existence itself. A crucial piece of 20th century literature, this is a necessary addition to every reader''s shelf.

This edition features a new translation by Debra De-Jong, an insightful introduction, and a bold, atmospheric cover design.

View Author's Page

(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.
