Never admitted to the Castle, never accepted in the village, yet unable to return home — K., the unwanted Land Surveyor, is trapped in an absurd, labyrinthine world from which there seems to be no escape. His struggles against forces of certainty and doubt, hope and fear, reason and nonsense gradually illuminate something inexplicable about the very nature of existence. Though Kafka began The Castle in 1922 and left it unfinished, this last of his three great novels arrives at conclusions so fascinating that it carries, against all odds, a strange sense of completeness.
