The Castle
“Such poets as Rilke or such novelists as Thomas Mann are dwarfs or plaster saints in comparison with him." Vladimir Nabokov VINTAGE CLASSICS A study of relationships, particularly between the individual and society and between thought and action, The Castle is one of Kafka's most profoundly imaginative works. As fear and worry develop in a series of strangely illogical events and man's quest for freedom heightens, this classic novel confirms Kafka's reputation as one of the greatest creators of... visionary fiction this century.

As he is considered by several of the best German critics to have been perhaps the most interesting writer of his generation, and at he is in some ways a strange and disconcerting genius, it has been suggested that a short introductory note should be provided for this book, the first of his to be translated into English." - This is the first paragraph of Edwin Muir's Introduction published in 1930 with the first English edition of The Castle (in his and Willa Muir's translation) and reprinted in all later editions.MoreLess
