'K. kept feeling that he had lost himself, or was further away in a strange land than anyone had ever been before' A remote village covered almost permanently in snow and dominated by a castle and its staff of dictatorial, sexually predatory bureaucrats - this is the setting for Kafka's story about a man seeking both acceptance in the village and access to the castle. Kafka breaks new ground in evoking a dense village community fraught with tensions, and recounting an often poignant, occasionally farcical love-affair. He also explores the relation between the individual and power, and asks why the villagers so readily submit to an authority which may exist only in their collective imagination. Published only after Kafka's death, The Castle appeared in the same decade as modernist masterpieces by Eliot, Joyce, Woolf, Mann and Proust, and is among the central works of modern literature. This translation follows the text established by critical scholarship, and manuscript variants are mentioned in the notes. The introduction provides guidance to the text without reducing the reader's own freedom to make sense of this fascinatingly enigmatic novel.

评分卡夫卡,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...
评分几年前,我做了个梦。梦到自己被困在一个洞穴里,等奋力挣脱了束缚在身上的绳索后,却又在逃亡路上遇到一个凶残的恶魔,荒张之余便不择路的跑到了一栋灰色的楼前要求避难。和原来洞穴里的人张牙舞爪粗陋低俗相比,这楼里走出来的人个个衣着光鲜,不仅人人气宇轩昂,而且行为恭...

评分“She had come to know the malice of the world for herself.” Discomforting and disturbing, like Bürgel’s bedroom with only a bed, or the landlady’s unfitting, our-of-style dresses.
