If I had to save just one book, it would be this one "Das Schloss" by Kafka. My first book (I was 21). The story of the illusory desire that we hope to achieve one day in our lives, the extinction of our deep desire through belief in the State, in employment system, and in norms that distance us from ourselves.

the castle is indeed a remarkable work as you’ve pointed out. However, Kafka’s “The Trial” has always been among my top choices. It echoes the sense of injustice prevalent in my country.

But I understand that, based on certain experiences, The Trial resonates much more. Kafka drew from his own demons to create his complex work

The Trial is more grounded in reality, more down-to-earth. I like it a lot, but I find that The Castle is his most complete book because, with the castle as an allegory of the "id," anyone in the world can relate to the unattainable desire. But The Trial is a pure masterpiece
