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.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, born into a middle-class Jewish family in Prague. His name has become a byword for alienation and guilt and his harrowing yet humorous work features individuals in an impersonal and bureaucratic world over which they have increasingly little power.
