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 haunting classic about hope, fear and absurdity is a essential addition to every reader’s shelf.
