  • Author : Franz Kafka
  • Publisher : OUP Oxford
  • Release : 2009-07-08
  • ISBN : 019157984X
  • Pages : 319 pages

Download or read book The Castle written by Franz Kafka and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-07-08 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'K. kept feeling that he had lost himself, or was further away in a strange land than anyone had ever been before' A remote village covered almost permanently in snow and dominated by a castle and its staff of dictatorial, sexually predatory bureaucrats - this is the setting for Kafka's story about a man seeking both acceptance in the village and access to the castle. Kafka breaks new ground in evoking a dense village community fraught with tensions, and recounting an often poignant, occasionally farcical love-affair. He also explores the relation between the individual and power, and asks why the villagers so readily submit to an authority which may exist only in their collective imagination. Published only after Kafka's death, The Castle appeared in the same decade as modernist masterpieces by Eliot, Joyce, Woolf, Mann and Proust, and is among the central works of modern literature. This translation follows the text established by critical scholarship, and manuscript variants are mentioned in the notes. The introduction provides guidance to the text without reducing the reader's own freedom to make sense of this fascinatingly enigmatic novel. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Book The Castle We Called Home

Download or read book The Castle We Called Home written by Simone Brenneman and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-06-22 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Castle We Called Home will draw you in from the very first word, until the last. It is simply a captivating story: "By the age of three, it was obvious that someone needed to be with Hayden, almost constantly, and with focus. It wasnt only because of his aggression or his lacking sense of danger. It was as much because he would otherwise wander aimlessly, looking for trouble, putting objects of any type in his mouth or destroying things. Or even worse, he would park himself in front of the TV and slip into Nowhereland. It tormented me. Why couldnt I get more deeply into his head? It was like standing in a corridor, a door ahead, locked and bolted shut.and me, hopelessly and frantically, fumbling with a mess of keys.none of them fitting. Was it that I genuinely didnt possess the right key? Or was it that I wasnt able to give myself the presence of mind to recognize the right key and then guide it into the lock? Or was the problem that there really just wasnt a key anywhere that would fit? It truly tormented me because we were falling apart at the seams. I had found the key with Genevieve. Id only had to think her and feel her and reach down from within. With her it was all about getting into her head and her body and her world, and then letting her feel safe and accepted enough, to let me enter. From there, it was a matter of using tools that fit for her, like Fantasy. But with Hayden, I didnt feel that I had that edge. I couldnt help feeling that I had let Hayden down. Why couldnt I do the same for him that I had done for her?

Download or read book I Capture the Castle written by Dodie Smith and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2003-04-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the 20th Century's most beloved novels is still winning hearts! I Capture the Castle tells the story of seventeen-year-old Cassandra and her family, who live in not-so-genteel poverty in a ramshackle old English castle. Here she strives, over six turbulent months, to hone her writing skills. She fills three notebooks with sharply funny yet poignant entries. Her journals candidly chronicle the great changes that take place within the castle's walls, and her own first descent into love. By the time she pens her final entry, she has "captured the castle"-- and the heart of the reader-- in one of literature's most enchanting entertainments. “This book has one of the most charismatic narrators I've ever met.” -- J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series

Book The Castle

  • Author : Seth Rogoff
  • Publisher : University of Alabama Press
  • Release : 2024-10
  • ISBN : 1573662070
  • Pages : 271 pages

Download or read book The Castle written by Seth Rogoff and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2024-10 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Seth Rogoff's The Castle is a novel that engages with Franz Kafka's novel of the same title, which famously ends mid-sentence. Built on a foundation of lost documents, erased texts, invented histories, boxed manuscripts, stolen sources, and translations with no originals, Rogoff writes an inverse reenactment of the original creative act-the bringing forth of chaos from form, in which the renowned translator Sy Kirschbaum travels out of the valley to the heart of the castle in a narrative that is at once a physical, psychological, literary, and metaphysical journey into Kafka's abandoned world"--

Book ElsBeth and the Call of the Castle Ghosties  Book III in the Cape Cod Witch Series

Download or read book ElsBeth and the Call of the Castle Ghosties Book III in the Cape Cod Witch Series written by J Bean Palmer and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2014-01-03 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recipient of the prestigious Mom's Choice Award honoring excellence, a Moonbeam Children's Book Award medal winner and a 2015-2016 New Book Award winner, and described by Midwest Book Review as "about as fine a middle school fantasy as you could get: vivid, packed with ghosts and mystery, and yet tempered with an attention to interpersonal depth that is rare and inviting." ElsBeth and the Call of the Castle Ghosties is set in the present on Cape Cod and the Scottish Highlands and is the coming-of-age tale of a young witch with a family legacy to protect the natural world. When their ancestral lands in the Highlands are threatened, three ancient ghosts of the castle need one of their clan from the living world. They call the young Cape witch across the sea. ElsBeth has a personal calling to protect the natural world, and her own need to know more about the family line. Drawn deep into the present danger, and into the mysteries of the old country and of her family heritage, she is in well above her magic level. Includes seventeen original color illustrations. Storyteller Ink: "I want to very highly recommend ElsBeth and the Call of the Castle Ghosties. I found it humorous and entertaining. The story caught my interest quickly due to the character development. There is a sense of adventure, responsibility and fun in this book. One of my favorite things was the way the kids in the story worked together to understand and solve a problem, which helped others. I love stories that have a positive outcome due to the inventiveness and courage of kids! And this book is rich in this quality. Read it and spread the word. This one is really enjoyable!!!"
