More info «The Castle» is one of the most famous works of Franz Kafka and one of the deepest philosophical novels of the 20th century. It was unfinished by the writer and was first published after his death in 1926 by his friend Max Brod. The plot of The Castle is absurd, but at the same time plausible: a surveyor K. arrives in a certain Village and tries to get into the Castle, where he is not allowed. The complex system of bureaucracy is entangled in a tangle, which there is no way to untangle, which means that there is no way to get into the Castle, no matter how roundabout you go. But the satire on the bureaucratic system is only one of the subtexts of the novel. The entire artistic space is limited by the Village and the inaccessible Castle. Time flows irrationally here. «Castle» is, first of all, a metaphor through which the signs of reality can be seen. The castle is quite concrete, and at the same time it is a mirage. Maybe the road to him is the road to God, and the Village is just a prototype of our earthly world?
