The Castle by Franz Kafka

The Castle is one of Franz Kafka’s most complex and enigmatic novels, exploring themes of power, authority, and the individual’s struggle for meaning. The story follows K., a land surveyor who arrives in a village governed by a mysterious castle and its unreachable authorities.

As K. attempts to gain access to the castle and understand the rules of the system, he becomes trapped in endless confusion, resistance, and bureaucratic absurdity. Kafka’s haunting narrative reflects the isolation and frustration of human existence in the face of incomprehensible power.

Unfinished yet deeply powerful, The Castle stands as a cornerstone of existential literature and a must-read for fans of classic and philosophical fiction.
