TagThe Castle

"The Castle" by Franz Kafka is a novel about a man named K who arrives in a village and tries to gain access to the castle, which he believes has summoned him for a job.

He also becomes entangled in the local power struggles and relationships, and begins to question his own purpose and identity. The novel is a commentary on the absurdity of bureaucracy and the alienation of the individual in a complex society. Kafka's writing style is characterized by surreal imagery and a sense of unease and isolation.”
