The castle a novel

K. kept feeling that he had lost himself, or was further away in a strange land than anyone had ever been before'A remote village covered almost permanently in snow and dominated by a castle and its staff of dictatorial, sexually predatory bureaucrats - this is the setting for Kafka's story about a man seeking both acceptance in the village and access to the castle. Kafka breaks new ground in evoking a dense village community fraught with tensions, and recounting an often poignant, occasionally farcical love-affair. He also explores the relation between the individual and power, and asks why t.

  • "Philosophical novel about alienation and bureaucracy, dark and at times surreal."
  • "A surveyor is lost in a labyrinth in this 1926 German novel, reflecting the author's concern with man's inability to assert himself in the face of bureaucracy. It is a new translation that restores the eccentricities in style of the original."
  • "De landmeter K. komt op zekere avond aan in een dorpje en zoekt toegang tot het alles overheersende slot."
  • "Es war spät abend als K. ankam. Das Dorf lag in tiefem Schnee. Vom Schloßberg war nichts zu sehn, Nebel und Finsternis umgaben ihn, auch nicht der schwächste Lichtschein deutete das große Schloß an. Lange stand K. auf der Holzbrücke die von der Landstraße zum Dorf führt und blickte in die scheinbare Leere empor."
  • "Kafka's last novel, The Castle is set in a remote village covered almost permanently in snow and dominated by a castle and its staff of dictatorial, sexually predatory bureaucrats. The novel breaks new ground in exploring the relation between the individual and power, asking why the villagers so readily submit to an authority which may exist only in their collective imagination. Published only after Kafka's death, The Castle appeared in the same decade as modernist masterpieces by Eliot, Joyce, Woolf, Mann and Proust, and is among the central works of modern literature. This new translation by prize-winning translator Anthea Bell follows the German text established by critical scholarship, and mentions manuscript variants in the notes. The detailed introduction by Ritchie Robertson, a leading Kafka scholar, explores the many meanings of this famously enigmatic novel, providing guidance without reducing the reader's freedom to make sense of this fascinating novel. In addition, the edition includes a Biographical Preface which places Kafka within the context of his time, plus an up-to-date bibliography and chronology of Kafka's life. - Publisher."
  • "Haunting story of a traveler known only as K. and his endless, unavailing struggle through a maze of encounters with an inscrutable authority to gain admittance to a castle."
  • "Een landmeter tracht in een dorp een woon- en werkvergunning te krijgen van het geheimzinnige administratieve centrum in het slot."
  • "Kafka's final novel was written during 1922, when the tuberculosis that was to kill him was already at an advanced stage. Fragmentary and unfinished, it perhaps never could have been finished."@en
  • "Román vyšel česky poprvé nedlouho před Mnichovem bez větší pozornosti. Dnes se těší pozornosti světové a vyvolává rozporné soudy i výklady. Ve složité a čtenářsky krajně náročné historii zeměměřiče, který přišel do vesnice."
  • "Jedno z vrcholných děl Kafkovy tvorby představuje velkolepé podobenství lidské situace ve světě. Vystihuje existenci člověka v jejím plahočení za poznáním smyslu toho mechanismu, v němž je zakleta. K. přichází do vesnice, ovládané zámkem, a odhodlaně bojuje o navázání takového kontaktu s oním zámkem, který by mu ozřejmil význam celé aparatury, podstatně sice neznámé, ale stále se vyjevující a zasahující do jedinečného osudu. Román, ač nedokončen, zůstává svědectvím Kafkova významného filosofického názoru, jímž anticipoval mnoho z fundamentální problematiky existenciálních myslitelů. K hlavnímu torsu jsou ještě připojeny dodatky: varianta začátku, fragmenty a místa škrtnutá autorem."

  • "The story of Land-Surveyor K. and his passionate attempts to reach the Castle has been recognized for some time as one of the symbolic classics of 20th century letters."@en
  • "Eines Abends kommt K. in ein verschneites Dorf, das zum Besitz eines Schlosses gehört. Als er am darauf folgenden Tag von dem Sohn des Kastellans nach einer Aufenthaltsgenehmigung gefragt wird, behauptet K., er sei als Landvermesser ins Schloss bestellt worden. Am nächsten Tag wird ihm das durch einen Brief des Kanzleivorstehers Klamm und durch die Zuteilung von Artur und Jeremias - angeblich seiner alten Gehilfen, doch K. hatte nie Gehilfen - bestätigt. Im weiteren Verlauf der Handlung kommt heraus, dass die Bestellung eines Landvermessers tatsächlich vor Jahren diskutiert wurde, es bleibt aber bis zum Ende ungeklärt, ob eine Berufung K.s tatsächlich erfolgte. K. ersucht in der Folge immer wieder um Einlass in das Schloss, das stets allgegenwärtig und fern zugleich ist. Doch er erhält ihn nicht. Je intensiver sich K. bemüht, desto weiter entfernt er sich vom Ziel. Das System, zu dem auch das am Fusse des Schlosses gelegene Dorf gehört, versperrt sich ihm. Es gibt Kontakte, aber nie Begegnungen und je intensiver sich K. bemüht, desto weiter entfernt er sich vom Ziel. Ergänzt wird der Originaltext mit Worterklärungen und biografischen Notizen über den Autor.Die Print ISBN bezieht sich auf unser Hörbuch."

Attempting to gain contact with the inhabitants of the castle, the officials who run the bureaucracy governing the village, K. repeatedly finds himself misunderstanding and transgressing the multitude of confusing and contradictory rules and regulations that dictate the daily life of the villagers.
