El clima y la idea dramática que informan EL CASTILLO son los que nutren toda la obra narrativa de Franz Kafka (1883-1924): un mundo exterior que, pese a conservar todas las notas que lo hacen reconocible, es objeto de una mutación que lo transforma cualitativamente; una secuencia de acontecimientos incomprensible para quien la padece pero que esconde una necesidad ineluctable; la inoperancia, en fin, de la voluntad y el entendimiento humanos para comprender ese medio hostil y doblegarlo.

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.
