The Metamorphosis
About this book
? "When Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect." ?
So begins Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis—one of the most haunting and influential works of modern literature. In this unforgettable novella, Kafka captures the quiet terror of a man suddenly cut off from his world, his family, and his very sense of self.
Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman who supports his family, wakes to find himself monstrously transformed. As he struggles to adapt, his family's love turns to shame and fear, revealing the fragility of human empathy and the loneliness of existence.
Blending surreal horror with piercing emotional truth, The Metamorphosis explores themes of identity, alienation, guilt, and the absurdity of life. Kafka's simple yet unsettling prose turns everyday reality into nightmare—and forces readers to question what it means to be human.
A cornerstone of existential and modernist literature, this novella remains as unsettling and profound today as it was a century ago.
