THE CASTLE (Everyman’s Library Classic) by Franz Kafka

In The Castle, Franz Kafka weaves a haunting tale of alienation, bureaucracy, and the endless pursuit of meaning. Arriving in a remote village to work as a land surveyor, the protagonist K. is met with hostility, confusion, and an impenetrable system tied to the mysterious Castle above.

Franz Kafka crafts a surreal and claustrophobic world where K.’s efforts to reach the Castle—and the truth—are endlessly thwarted. The Castle explores humanity’s struggle to find clarity in an absurd and indifferent universe.

With The Castle, Franz Kafka delivers one of his most profound and unsettling works. A cornerstone of Classic Fiction and Philosophical Fiction, it remains an essential read for anyone drawn to the depths of the human condition.
