Μέσα στον Πύργο κρύβεται η ουσία της ύπαρξης. Μόνο εκεί μπορούμε να ανακαλύψουμε το ανώτερο νόημα,πέρα απο το πλαίσιο της φυσικής μας ζωής πάνω στη γη.

Σε όλο το στερέωμα του Καφκικού σύμπαντος με επίκεντρο τον θρυλικό Πύργο προσπαθούμε να προσεγγίσουμε την είσοδο, την επαφή,το μυστήριο,το παράλογο,το ιδεώδες,το σύμβολο της ύπαρξης και του ονειρικού εφιάλτη.

Ξεκινώντας απο ένα φτωχό και παραμελημένο χωριό στο οποίο ούτε ως κλεμμένη δεν συναντούσες τη χαρά στους κατοίκους του,πρέπει αρχικά να συν

È necessario partire dalla fine. E di questo libro il solo Max Brod conosce la conclusione. Ci si avveda quindi di possedere tale nota del Brod prima di imbarcarsi in questa lettura.

Depois de minha primeira leitura de O Castelo de Kafka, ouso uma breve consideração crítica, pois muito se escreveu sobre essa obra inacabada. Do título, o autor teria escrito em seus diários que “alguns livros funcionam como uma chave para as salas desconhecidas de nosso próprio castelo�. Essa tem sido uma chave de leitura extratexto comum. No seu posfácio, o tradutor Modesto Carone recenseia, entre diversas interpretações, aquela que toma o castelo como símbolo do inconsciente freudiano. Mais ...more

Up to about the midway point, this feels like a perfect Kafka tale, but then it starts to become clear that this book was left incomplete in every sense of the word. It seems like Kafka was the type to word vomit in his early drafts and then slowly and methodically peel away the excess and shape his stories. This would explain the nearly insane amount of conversational bloat in the second half. With that said (and despite my use of the word 'vomit'), I liked The Castle very much. That is, I enjo ...more

Listened to this on an audio book. It was like being sucked into a dream, maybe a nightmare that was happening while you are wide awake. Guy was incredible
