Synopsis "El Castillo (in Spanish)"

El clima y la idea dramática que informan EL CASTILLO son los que nutren toda la obra narrativa de Franz Kafka (1883-1924): un mundo exterior que, pese a conservar todas las notas que lo hacen reconocible, es objeto de una mutación que lo transforma cualitativamente; una secuencia de acontecimientos incomprensible para quien la padece pero que esconde una necesidad ineluctable; la inoperancia, en fin, de la voluntad y el entendimiento humanos para comprender ese medio hostil y doblegarlo.

(Prague, Austro-Hungarian Empire, 1883 - Kierling, Austria, 1924) Bohemian writer in German language. His work, among the most influential in world literature, is a pioneer in the fusion of realistic elements with fantastic ones and focuses mainly on father-son conflicts, anxiety, existentialism, physical and psychological brutality, guilt, the philosophy of the absurd, bureaucracy, and spiritual transformations. He wrote notable novels and a large number of short stories, and also left behind extensive correspondence and autobiographical writings. His unique literary style has often been associated with the artistic philosophy of existentialism and expressionism. His personal relationships also had a significant impact on his writing. The term Kafkaesque is used in Spanish to describe bizarre situations, due to their absurdity and distressing nature.
