Book summaryPublished posthumously, Kafka's novel--a major modernist/symbolist work--is about a surveyor, known only as K., who struggles with an absurd, implacable bureaucracy in an attempt to penetrate a dimly defined "castle." The characters in Kafka's allegory inhabit a strange world, comic and dreamlike, that has come to be known as "Kafkaesque." Media reviews"At the end of the book one is so unusually impressed by its solidity of conception and execution that although its inner meaning is still not entirely clear, one feels that with time and reflection one could come to an understanding of every portion of its rich and intricate symbolism." |
