Franz Kafka was born in 1883 in Prague, where he lived most of his life. During his lifetime, he published only a few short stories, including “The Metamorphosis,” “The Judgment,” and “The Stoker.” He died in 1924, before completing any of his full-length novels. At the end of his life, Kafka asked his lifelong friend and literary executor Max Brod to burn all his unpublished work. Brod overrode those wishes.
Translated and with a preface by Mark Harman
Left unfinished by Kafka in 1922 and not published until 1926, two years after his death, The Castle is the haunting tale of K.’s relentless, unavailing struggle with an inscrutable authority in order to gain access to the Castle. 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.

最近重讀,當然還是沒能讀到最後,人物間沒完沒瞭的對話,已經不能稱之為對話瞭,相互攻擊比較貼切。記得早年看過一個關於《城堡》的評論,不記得是齣自米蘭昆德拉還是格非瞭,他說這個長篇不可能完成,如果一開始還有情節推進,那麼到最後隻有無盡的對談,主人公幾乎沒有行動...
評分劉小楓在《沉重的肉身》對《城堡》有以下評論:尋求意義的人生必然導緻歸罪的人生,因為,所要尋求的意義不是一個人的身體能夠擁有的東西,難免成為捆束人身的道德繩索。道德歸罪就是用道德繩索捆束人身,其正當性依據就是尋求意義的人生。道德歸罪有兩種,他人歸罪和自我歸罪...

評分《城堡》至少擁有兩套當局:真實存在的當局,以及眾人想象中的當局。然而真實存在的當局過於龐大,且幾乎從不現身,想象中的當局甚至更為龐大,其基礎僅僅建立在對真正當局雪泥鴻爪式的議論之上。至少在村子裏,對當局的議論是如雲霧般全麵籠罩下來的猜測的集閤體,而這種層層...
評分人的最本質的問題乃是人的身份的問題,即我是誰的問題,《城堡》中的主人公K在夜深時到達麵臨的就是這個問題。在城堡管事兒子的逼問之下,K迴答說自己是城堡雇來的土地測量員,隻是之後盡管K一直是以一個土地測量員的身份奔波著,他傳說中的助手和器械並沒有尾隨他到來,他甚至...
