À propos de cet audio

A land-surveyor, known only as K., arrives at a small village permanently covered in snow and dominated by a castle to which access seems permanently denied. K.'s attempts to discover why he has been called constantly run up against the peasant villagers, who are in thrall to the absurd bureaucracy that keeps the castle shut, and the rigid hierarchy of power among the self-serving bureaucrats themselves. But in this strange wilderness, there is passion, tenderness and considerable humour. Darkly bizarre, this complex book was the last novel by one of the 20th century's greatest and most influential writers.

Very well performed and as always Kafka reflects the looming darkness haha. This and the Trial really bring the reality of burocratic BS home......

Very Kafka

In classic Kafka fashion this book is brutally frustrating in that the story telling is, seemingly intentionally, tedious. It takes skill to write a book that manages to go absolutely nowhere for 11 hours. The worst part is that you don’t get the satisfaction of reaching the end of this marathon since the story was never finished. That said, Kafka’a ability to keep you frustrated beyond belief is something. I always find myself pushing on, desperate for some kind of satisfaction which is, of course, the point, and this at least makes for a unique trait worth appreciating in this work. A great analogy for the bureaucratic red tape of government.
