The last great, unfinished novel by Kafka - the book that hangs over the entire modern era like a nightmare. With a new introduction and notes by John Zilcosky. The Castle is the story of K., the unwanted Surveyor who will never be accepted in the Castle nor in the village, yet he cannot return home. As he encounters the dual meanings of certainty and doubt, hope and fear, as well as reason and absurdity, K.'s struggles in the strange, labyrinthine world he finds himself in seem to reveal an inexplicable truth about the nature of existence. Kafka began The Castle in 1922 and it was never completed, yet this, the last of his three major novels, draws fascinating conclusions that make it seem oddly complete.
