The Castle

Hodnocení knihy

Více o knize

From the author of The Metamorphosis and The Trial—one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century—the haunting tale of K.'s relentless, unavailing struggle with an inscrutable authority in order to gain access to the Castle. Translated and with a preface by Mark Harman. Arriving in a village to take up the position of land surveyor for the mysterious lord of a castle, the character known as K. finds himself in a bitter and baffling struggle to contact his new employer and go about his duties. The Castle's original manuscript was left unfinished by Kafka in 1922 and not published until 1926, two years after his death. Scrupulously following the fluidity and breathlessness of the sparsely punctuated original manuscript, Mark Harman's new translation reveals levels of comedy, energy, and visual power previously unknown to English language readers.

Výstižný, ale vlastně vůbec nechápu, proč bych to měl chtít číst. Strašně jsem u toho trpěl. Mnohem víc vysávající než čtení o jiných tragédiích. V principu to asi splnilo svůj záměr, ale fakt bych nikomu nedoporučil to číst. Jsou nějaké hranice...

Můj nejoblíbenější román od Kafky. K jeho dílů je asi obecně nutné si nejdřív najít cestu a její vrcholné završení představuje právě Zámek.

Krasna metafora, vystihujici strach pred molochem moderniho byrokratickeho statu
