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 Harmans new translation reveals levels of comedy, energy, and visual power previously unknown to English language readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52337558356256,"sku":"USED0805211063","price":10.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61Nsxdo2p3L_5c992bac-f4f0-4112-adbe-cb92c2ecb20f.jpg?v=1789078511","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-castle-0805211063-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
