The Castle

The Castle by Franz Kafka

The Castle is a surreal unfinished novel about the struggles of a land surveyor named K who reports to a village surrounding the titular structure. K attempts to perform his duties, but the various bureaucrats living inside the castle thwart and alienate him repeatedly until his life becomes a grueling circuit of red tape and contradictory statements. K becomes ill later in the book and the story's planned ending involved his death without the resolution of his quest.
