The Metamorphosis
The Surreal Masterpiece of Isolation, Identity, and the Human Condition
About this book
One morning, he woke to find himself transformed.
In one of the most striking opening scenes in world literature, Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman, awakens to discover he has inexplicably transformed into a gigantic insect. As he grapples with his new reality, Gregor's relationships with his family unravel, revealing the fragility of compassion and the cruelty that can emerge from fear and shame.
First published in 1915, The Metamorphosis is Franz Kafka's defining work, blending surrealism, psychological depth, and biting social commentary. This haunting novella explores themes of alienation, identity, and the often-unspoken burdens of family obligation.
"A disturbing yet deeply human masterpiece."
– The New York Times
"Kafka's genius lies in making the absurd utterly believable—and painfully relatable."
– The Guardian
