Synopsis "El Castillo (in Spanish)"

El argumento de esta novela es simple, y poco a poco, aterrador, característico de la obra kafkiana. El agrimensor K. llega de noche a un pueblo perdido en las montañas para hacerse cargo de su trabajo. A partir de aquí, el relato de las vicisitudes del protagonista, en su relación con el castillo y las gentes del pueblo, va haciéndose alucinante, hasta un final que seguramente morirá sin conseguir flaquear las puertas del castillo.Novela publicada por primera vez en 1926, después de la muerte de Kafka, es según Max Brod, en su libro sobre el escritor checo, la obra que más apreciaba el gran novelista.'

(Prague, Austro-Hungarian Empire, 1883 - Kierling, Austria, 1924) Bohemian writer in German language. His work, among the most influential in world literature, is a pioneer in the fusion of realistic elements with fantastic ones and focuses mainly on father-son conflicts, anxiety, existentialism, physical and psychological brutality, guilt, the philosophy of the absurd, bureaucracy, and spiritual transformations. He wrote notable novels and a large number of short stories, and also left behind extensive correspondence and autobiographical writings. His unique literary style has often been associated with the artistic philosophy of existentialism and expressionism. His personal relationships also had a significant impact on his writing. The term Kafkaesque is used in Spanish to describe bizarre situations, due to their absurdity and distressing nature.
