Secker & Warburg 1947 4th impression. Cloth, G. 320pp, spine faded & lettering dulled, cloth subbed to the spine, a solid copy. Kafka's 1926 unfinished novel Der Schloss which was first translated into English in 1930. A bleak tale of man's futile & pointless struggle against authority, the system & the pursuit of unattainable goals.
