The Complete Novels: Includes Trial, Amerika and Castle

The complete novels of one of the greatest German writers of all time, collected together in one literary masterpiece.Kafka’s characters are victims of forces beyond their control, estranged and rootless citizens deceived by authoritarian power. A crime without a name, a castle without access and an exile adrift in America. Kafka’s three great novels in one essential collection. Kafka’s characters are victims of forces beyond their control: estranged, rootless citizens deceived by authority and trapped in systems they cannot understand. Filled with claustrophobic description and existential force, these novels create a world at once absurd, comic and terrifyingly recognisable. In The Trial, Joseph K is hunted for a crime that remains nameless. The Castle follows K in his ceaseless attempts to enter the castle and to belong somewhere. In Amerika, Karl Rossmann finds himself isolated and confused when he is packed off to America by his parents. The Complete Novels is a landmark collection for readers of literary fiction, dystopian fiction and modern classics, bringing together Kafka’s enduring visions of bureaucracy, alienation, exile and power.
