Translated and with a preface by Mark Harman
Left unfinished by Kafka in 1922 and not published until 1926, two years after his death, The Castle is the haunting tale of K.’s relentless, unavailing struggle with an inscrutable authority in order to gain access to the Castle. Scrupulously following the fluidity and breathlessness of the sparsely punctuated original manuscript, Mark Harman’s new translation reveals levels of comedy, energy, and visual power previously unknown to English language readers.
Franz Kafka was born in 1883 in Prague, where he lived most of his life. During his lifetime, he published only a few short stories, including “The Metamorphosis,” “The Judgment,” and “The Stoker.” He died in 1924, before completing any of his full-length novels. At the end of his life, Kafka asked his lifelong friend and literary executor Max Brod to burn all his unpublished work. Brod overrode those wishes.
刘小枫在《沉重的肉身》对《城堡》有以下评论:寻求意义的人生必然导致归罪的人生,因为,所要寻求的意义不是一个人的身体能够拥有的东西,难免成为捆束人身的道德绳索。道德归罪就是用道德绳索捆束人身,其正当性依据就是寻求意义的人生。道德归罪有两种,他人归罪和自我归罪...
評分最近重读,当然还是没能读到最后,人物间没完没了的对话,已经不能称之为对话了,相互攻击比较贴切。记得早年看过一个关于《城堡》的评论,不记得是出自米兰昆德拉还是格非了,他说这个长篇不可能完成,如果一开始还有情节推进,那么到最后只有无尽的对谈,主人公几乎没有行动...
評分卡夫卡,一个多么有趣且吸引人的名字,还有他的照片那双清澈如月亮般的眼睛,好像可以洞察世间事物一样,无论是有形存在的事物,还是无形存在的事物都逃不过他那双眼睛似的。我印象中很早以前接触过他的一篇短篇小说,那就是他的最为人所知的《变形记》。而真正接触他的...
評分整个九月我都在阅读这个小说。这是我读的第三篇卡夫卡的小说,第一篇为《一次斗争的描述》,阅读的结果以失败而告终,我完全被他的语言所击败。第二篇为《饥饿艺术家》,很好读,故事富有连贯性。第三篇则是这个长篇《城堡》。 我知道我迟早要接触这个现代派的源头,我花了...
評分人的最本质的问题乃是人的身份的问题,即我是谁的问题,《城堡》中的主人公K在夜深时到达面临的就是这个问题。在城堡管事儿子的逼问之下,K回答说自己是城堡雇来的土地测量员,只是之后尽管K一直是以一个土地测量员的身份奔波着,他传说中的助手和器械并没有尾随他到来,他甚至...
