The Castle - Unabridged
ByPublisher Description
"The Castle" is the last novel written by German writer Franz Kafka. Unfinished at the time of his death, the book was posthumously published by Kafka's friend and executor Max Brod and has since gone on to become one of the most admired books of the 20th century.
"The Castle" is a surrealist novel of a man - known only as "K" - who attempts to penetrate the ruling bureaucracy of a small village, the leaders of which are housed in a mysterious and impenetrable castle. In typical Kafka fashion, K encounters one absurd roadblock after another in his attempt to cut through the red tape and confusion surrounding the village's enigmatic ruling class.
One of Kafka's most beloved works, "The Castle" is presented here as it was originally published in 1930 as translated from the German by Willa and Edwin Muir.
