Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

Arriving in a village to take up the position of land surveyor for the mysterious lord of a castle, the character known as K. finds himself in a bitter and baffling struggle to contact his new employer and go about his duties. As the villagers and the Castle officials block his efforts at every turn, K.' s consuming quest- quite possibly a self-imposed one- to penetrate the inaccessible heart of the Castle and take its measure is repeatedly frustrated. Kafka once suggested that the would-be surveyor in "The Castle" is driven by a wish " to get clear about ultimate things, " an unrealizable desire that provided the driving force behind all of Kafka' s dazzlingly uncanny fictions. Translated by Willa and Edwin Muir
