Wordsworth Classics Essential Kafka

Like george orwell, franz kafka has given his name to a world of nightmare, but in kafka's world, it is never completely clear just what the nightmare is.

The trial, where the rules are hidden even from the highest officials, and if there is any help to be had, it will come from unexpected sources, is a chilling, blackly amusing tale that maintains, to the very end, an relentless atmosphere of disorientation.

superficially about bureaucracy, it is in the last resort a description of the absurdity of 'normal' human nature.

the castle is still more enigmatic. Is it an allegory of a quasi-feudal system giving way to a new freedom for the subject? The search by a central european jew for acceptance into a dominant culture? A spiritual quest for grace or salvation? An individual's struggle between his sense of independence and his need for approval? Is it all of these things? And k? Is he an opportunist, a victim, or an outsider fighting against elusive authority? Son olarak, kafka, hayallerinde, karanlık ve tuhaf bir şekilde mizahi bir şekilde ele alır, bir dünyanın çözünmeyen zorluklarıyla ilgili olarak, hiçbir güvence sunmaz ve eksistansel ve duygusal belirginliklerimizi ve endişelerimizi çözmenin için güvenilir bir rehberlik yoktur.
