Features: Kafka is one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. His unique creative style has widely influenced contemporary literature in various countries, leaving an immortal page in the history of world literature in the 20th century. He is justly revered as the forefather of modernist literature. The Castle is one of Kafka's three unfinished long novels. It is large in scope and rich in Kafka's characteristics, widely recognized as one of his most important works. Brod even called The Castle the "Faust of Kafka." This book is in English. In this book, the land surveyor K walks through thick snow, and the white snow covers his footprints once again. Does this suggest that this was a walk from which he did not return? Because K seems to have stepped into the mystery of fate without an answer. Horace said, "Whatever shore the storm may carry me to, I will land as a master." Kafka then said, "Whatever direction I turn to, there are always black waves hitting me." The sense of loss and failure that permeates the Western literary tradition has affected the long years. How many years have passed, and the storm has brought K back here again. K has the right to land, but he cannot gain the identity of a master.
