Description
The Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis is one of the most influential and unforgettable works of twentieth-century literature.
Gregor Samsa, a travelling salesman burdened by work and responsibility, wakes one morning to discover that he has been transformed into a strange and monstrous insect. Unable to continue his normal life, Gregor becomes increasingly isolated from the family he once supported.
As his condition changes the relationships within the Samsa household, Kafka explores alienation, identity, family responsibility, guilt and the fragile nature of human connection.
Surreal, unsettling and darkly compelling, The Metamorphosis combines psychological insight with absurdist storytelling to create a powerful portrait of an individual becoming a stranger within his own home.
Perfect for readers of classic literature, psychological fiction, existential writing and modern European classics.
