{"product_id":"signature-editions-the-castle","title":"Signature Editions: The Castle","description":"A darkly comic novel from one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, The Castle follows a man grappling with his inscrutable new master's authority, now freshly repackaged for the Union Square \u0026amp; Co. Signature Classics Line. Published posthumously in 1926, The Castle is Franz Kafka's final, unfinished novel, and a dark, surrealistic exploration of bureaucracy and alienation. Known or its absurdity and labrinthine plot, the novel follows a land surveyor known as \"K\" who, after moving for work, is drawn to a mysterious yet inaccessible castle that governs his new village. Irving Howe praised the book as projecting \"a greater strength of will than we have encountered in Kafka's earlier writings-an effort to overcome the muteness of existence.\"","brand":"Franz Kafka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67743326044338,"sku":"9781454970934","price":255.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9191\/8002\/files\/9781454970934.jpg?v=1792285396","url":"https:\/\/www.wordsworth.co.za\/products\/signature-editions-the-castle","provider":"Wordsworth Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
