Riassunto

In "The Castle," Franz Kafka tells the story of K., a land surveyor who arrives in a remote village, eager to connect with the enigmatic castle that dominates the landscape. However, he soon finds himself entangled in a web of bureaucratic absurdity, facing confusion and isolation as he navigates the villagers' strange relationship with the castle's elusive authority. Through K.'s struggles, Kafka delves into themes of alienation, the quest for meaning, and the frustrating search for acceptance in a world ruled by arbitrary rules. With its rich symbolism and existential depth, "The Castle" invites readers to reflect on their own encounters with authority and the longing for belonging in a seemingly indifferent universe.

Informazioni sull?autore

Franz Kafka, born in 1883 in Prague, was a Czech writer known for his surreal and existential storytelling. His most famous works, like "The Metamorphosis" and "The Trial," explore themes of alienation and the absurdity of modern life. Despite publishing only a few pieces during his lifetime, Kafka's precise prose and profound insights into the human condition have made him a cornerstone of 20th-century literature. After his death in 1924, his friend Max Brod defied Kafka's wishes to destroy his unpublished works, ensuring his lasting influence on literature and philosophy.
