Whose masterpiece is the castle?

Castle is Kafka's masterpiece.

The Castle, written in 1922, is Kafka's last novel. It is not only a summary of Kafka's life experience and philosophical thought, but also a symbol of Kafka's mature and stereotyped creative style. This novel can best reflect Kafka's creative style and characteristics, so it has always been regarded as the finale and masterpiece of Kafka's creation.

As an "explorer of modern art", Kafka built this maze of modern art with a brand-new aesthetic perspective and unique artistic style, which made the castle have superb artistry and aesthetic shock. In Castle, Kafka narrates a desperate struggle in a cold style, thus revealing the absurdity, alienation and indifference of the world.

Kafka's profile

Franz Kafka (1July 3, 883-1June 3, 924), a Czech-born German novelist in Austria-Hungary (the political alliance between Austria and Hungary), worked as an insurance clerk. His major works include The Trial, The Castle and Metamorphosis.

Kafka was born in 1883 into a Jewish merchant family. /kloc-entered Prague university to study literature and law at the age of 0/8. 1904 began to write. His main works are four collections of short stories and three novels. Unfortunately, most of them were not published before his death, and none of the three long articles were finished.

He lived in an era when Austria-Hungary was about to collapse, and was deeply influenced by Nietzsche and Bergson's philosophy. He always keeps a live attitude towards political events, so most of his works use grotesque images and symbolic intuition to express isolated and desperate individuals surrounded by hostile social environment.
