Das große Meisterwerk der Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts
Ein Buch müsse die Axt sein "für das gefrorene Meer in uns", forderte Franz Kafka einmal - nur wenige Werke der Weltliteratur kommen diesem Motto so nahe wie der letzte der drei großen Romane des Prager Dichters: Eines Nachts gelangt der Landvermesser K. in ein Dorf, dessen Geschicke von einer geheimnisvollen Macht, dem Schloss, gelenkt werden. Er ersucht dort um eine Anstellung, die ihm jedoch verwehrt wird. Der Grund für diese Ablehnung bleibt ebenso im Dunkeln wie die Natur des ominösen Schlosses und K. beginnt einen aussichtslos scheinenden Kampf um seine Anerkennung.

Work Description

The Castle (original title: "Das Schloß") is the story of K., the unwanted Land Surveyor who is never to be admitted to the Castle nor accepted in the village, and yet cannot go home. As he encounters dualities of certainty and doubt, hope and fear, and reason and nonsense, K.'s struggles in the absurd, labyrinthine world where he finds himself seem to reveal an inexplicable truth about the nature of existence. Kafka began The Castle in 1922 and it was never finished, yet this, the last of his three great novels, draws fascinating conclusions that make it feel strangely complete.
