Il richiamo del Daimon

Both art and analysis are responses to a probing need for truth and love. The daimon's call is the summons to find them, regardless of cost. Kafka made the journey alone for the most part, and he recorded his search in his writings. Here,Carotenuto reads two of Kafka's novels, The Trial and The Castle, from the perspective of Jungian psychology, and finds, if not love and truth, a creative response to the dilemmas of life. - Back cover.
