'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.

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...
評分《城堡》是卡夫卡的最后一部长篇,写于1922年,彼时他的生命还剩下最后两年。如果说稍早的《审判》尚且是一部初具“卡夫卡风格”的小说的话,《城堡》则已经是一部带有鲜明的、成熟的“卡夫卡风格”的作品,也正因为如此,《城堡》也成了卡夫卡作品中最难读、最难理解的一部。 ...
評分阅读卡夫卡是一种奇特的体验,从来没有那个作家像卡夫卡这样让我深觉其故事情节的荒谬却又不得不叹服那种心有戚戚的真实感,《城堡》亦是如此。 城堡的故事很简单:K是一名受命于城堡的的土地测量员,可当他依照约定赴任之时却发现城堡作为村子的最高存在却在这时拒绝了他进入...

評分刘小枫在《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...
非常棒的版本,小說前麵附瞭卡夫卡的簡介以及Richie Robertson的introduction。還附瞭一些非常有幫助的注釋,主要是是從詞源探索一些人物的隱喻。
