內容簡介
一天夜裏,主人公K踏雪來到城堡附近的村子裏投宿,因無城堡統治者伯爵的居留許可證,沒有人肯收留,幾經周摺,纔允許暫住。他韆方百計想進入城,或者希望得到村民的認同,在村裏閤法地安頓下來,但他到處碰壁,不為村民所接受,他麵對的是一個極其荒誕的現實,他始終隻是個“局外人”。到瞭第六天他還是沒能進入城堡。《城堡》是卡夫卡的最後一部長篇小說,其“卡夫卡式”的抽象化描寫達到瞭登峰造極的地步,是20世紀西方現代派文學中極為重要的作品。
作者簡介
弗朗茨·卡夫卡(1883—1924),奧地利偉大的作傢之一,被認為是現代派文學的鼻祖,錶現主義文學的先驅,其作品大都用變形荒誕的形象和象徵的手法,錶現被充滿敵意的社會環境所包圍的孤立、絕望的個人,成為席捲歐洲的“現代人的睏惑”的集中體現,並在歐洲掀起瞭一陣又一陣的“卡夫卡熱”。主要作品有《城堡》、《變形記》、《飢餓藝術傢》、《審判》、《鄉村醫生》等。
精彩書評
在15歲時讀到卡夫卡的《城堡》時,便被文字中透露齣的冷淡與荒唐所震撼,對於剛剛開始寫作生涯的我來說,卡夫卡成為瞭某種象徵,影響著我後來的寫作風格。這種初識卡夫卡時帶來的震撼至今仍未散去。

前言/序言
KAFKA’s last novel centres on a simple and compelling cluster of images. A rural castle, the property of an absent nobleman, is run by an administrative staff who dominate the village beneath the castle. The protagonist, K., coming from outside and ignorant of the village and the castle, has painfully to learn their ways and to discover that, despite all his efforts, he cannot gain access to the castle. So far, this may seem to match the associations of gloom and oppression suggested by the term ‘Kafkaesque’. Kafka, however, has much more to offer than the ‘Kafkaesque’, and if one can put aside such presuppositions, The Castle provides many surprising discoveries.
The reader of The Castle is likely already to know The Trial, and may think that Kafka has simply replaced one opaque, hierarchical authority, the court, with another, the castle. In their texture, however, the two novels differ considerably. In contrast to the anonymous city of The Trial, The Castle has a vividly presented material and social setting. We are in a remote village, in the depth of winter. The snowbound village is repeatedly evoked: ‘more and more little houses, their window-panes covered by frost-flowers’, ‘a narrow alley where the snow lay even deeper. Pulling his feet out of it as they kept sinking in again was hard work’ (p. 13). We feel how exhausting it is to have constantly to struggle through the deep snow. Moreover, the village is a community, with friendships and hatreds that go back through the generations. We learn about the village’s two inns, the humble Bridge Inn and the more pretentious Castle Inn, and about how the latter’s landlord and landlady acquired it; we meet the families of the tanner Lasemann and the cobbler Brunswick, and hear about their standing in the village; and we are told at great length about the family of Barnabas, the castle messenger, and how the family are in bad odour because of their refractory attitude towards the castle. And whenever a new figure is introduced, he or she is neatly characterized, so that even those who appear briefly — the carter Gerstacker, the village schoolmaster, the schoolmistress Gisa and her languishing suitor Schwarzer — are vivid presences.
This community is also the setting for a love story. Unlike the callous and self-centred protagonist of The Trial, the main character here is at least briefly capable of love, and the rapid development and decline of his love-affair with Frieda has moments of poignancy not
found earlier in Kafka’s work. These features offset the extensive conversations about the puzzling ways of the castle authorities, which correspond to Kafka’s profound concern with ambiguity, but which sometimes make one feel that the novel could have benefited from the work of an editor. Kafka did not complete the novel; like his others, The Trial and The Man Who Disappeared, it was published after his death by his friend Max Brod.
