Castle (wenjing·star System)
by Franz Kafka
About This Novel
This book is the most representative work of Kafka's late period. Although the novel is unfinished, it is full of a nightmarish, strange, mysterious and absurd atmosphere, showing the alienation of human existence under the control of a huge bureaucratic machine. In Kafka's plan, K tried his best and rushed here and there, but all his efforts were in vain. He was unable to enter the castle until his death. The protagonist K walked through the snow in the middle of the night and came to a village governed by a castle. He claimed to be a land surveyor hired by the castle, but he could not provide any proof, so he was severely interrogated. The castle is located on a hill in front of you, but it is cold and majestic, like a giant beast overlooking the village, out of reach; it is a huge bureaucracy with a strict hierarchy and countless departments, officials and dusty documents.
