Publicada p?stumamente en 1926, El castillo es la m?s tard?a de las tres novelas que escribi? Franz Kafka (1883-1924) y, pese a haber quedado inconclusa, pasa a ser una de las cumbres de la novela del siglo XX.
En ella se cuentan los infructuosos intentos del agrimensor K. por acceder a las autoridades del castillo, que al parecer han reclamado sus servicios, y obtener el permiso para ejercer su trabajo y establecerse as? en la aldea en que ha sido recibido como un forastero. Con su insistencia en reclamar los derechos que le corresponden, las peripecias a menudo c?micas del agrimensor K. configuran una par?bola insondable sobre la abstrusa condici?n del poder y sobre el dif?cil sentimiento de pertenencia que angustia al hombre moderno. El texto que se ofrece ahora al lector en una nueva traducci?n de Miguel S?enz presenta, por fin, la obra de este autor, quiz?s el m?s emblem?tico del siglo XX, con las m?ximas garant?as de rigor y fidelidad posibles. "Habla un disc?pulo de Kafka, un tard?o disc?pulo de Kafka, pero que sigue sinti?ndolo y agradeciendo lo mucho que ?l le ha dado y lo poco que ?l ha podido hacer con ese espl?ndido regalo de su obra." -Jos? Luis Borges. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the author of The Metamorphosis and The Trial--one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century--the haunting tale of K.'s relentless, unavailing struggle with an inscrutable authority to gain access to the Castle. 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. Dark and at times surreal, The Castle is often understood to be about alienation, unresponsive bureaucracy, the frustration of trying to conduct business with non-transparent, seemingly arbitrary controlling systems, and the futile pursuit of an unobtainable goal. The Castle's original manuscript was left unfinished by Kafka in 1922 and not published until 1926, two years after his death. It suggested it would end with K. dying in the village, the castle notifying him on his death bed that his "legal claim to live in the village was not valid, yet, taking certain auxiliary circumstances into account, he was permitted to live and work there".
