The Castle

By Franz Kafka

The tale of K’s arrival in the village below the castle that seems to rule it is Kafka’s magnum opus. The study of relationships, particularly between the individual and society, and between thought and action, epitomizes Kafka’s vision of twentieth-century alienation and anxiety.

Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was a primarily German-speaking Bohemian author, known for his impressive fusion of realism and fantasy in his work. Despite his commendable writing abilities, Kafka worked as a lawyer for most of his life and wrote in his free time. Though most of Kafka’s literary acclaim was gained postmortem, he earned a respected legacy and now is regarded as a major literary figure of the 20th century.
