Books

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 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

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.

Yes, of course. Kafka died in 1924. His works entered the public domain in 1995 and are therefore freely accessible online in many places 😊

I had heard that Kafka was really hard to read. I think I'm going to fail a few times, but I like the book so I'll read it. Thanks✨

However, it's not easy to read. Kafka has a really dense and complex style, and the atmosphere is quite heavy as well. But if that doesn't bother you, then go for it. I had never heard of Momo by Ende, I will check it out 😊 thanks

Sounds like an interesting book, I will read it.
When I heard that desire disappears, it reminded me of "Momo" from Ende's works. It is a children's book but a deep work.
