K stood for a long while on the wooden bridge that led from the main road to the village, gazing up into the seeming emptiness.

	The Land Surveyor is the central character in the book ]. The character finds himself trapped in a village overlooked by a castle, run by a bureacracy governed by apparently arbitrary and bizarre rules which must be obeyed without question, and surrounded by servants who comply entirely with these rules.

	Kafka died prior to finishing the book, but suggested the book would end with the Land Surveyor dying in the village; the castle notifying him on his death bed that his "legal claim to live in the village was not valid, yet, taking certain auxiliary circumstances into account, he was permitted to live and work there" .

	== Peter Damian Background ==

	The following summarises the articles to which I have made significant contributions in my time at Misplaced Pages. The articles in bold are those to which I was the main contributor, and whose subject is important or notable (e.g. ''History of logic'', which had not been covered properly until 2008). My main area of expertise is in Anglo-American analytic philosophy (I graduated from a well-known British university in the 1970's, did my PhD there, and taught there until the late 1980's. I have published in a number of good quality journals, and continue to work and publish, although I no longer teach). I also have an interest in medieval philosophy, and set theory and mathematics. My contributions to the project mostly reflect these specialisms.

	For the entire time I have edited at Misplaced Pages I have been concerned about the way that experts are treated on the project (often with disdain, often with complete misunderstanding of the principles underlying true expert editing). I was a founder member of the .
