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.
