The Metamorphosis (Legend Classics)

The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka is a surreal tale that begins with Gregor Samsa waking up to find himself transformed into a giant insect. As he grapples with what has happened to him, Gregor realizes that he is no longer the provider for his family, and his inability to communicate with them leads to a breakdown in their relationship. Kafka's masterpiece is a harrowing exploration of isolation, guilt, and the human condition. His vivid descriptions of Gregor's metamorphosis and the emotional impact of his transformation make this a timeless classic. This novel has influenced many contemporary authors, and remains a must-read for anyone interested in the existential genre. This Legend Classics edition features David Wyllie's acclaimed translation, and is an essential addition to any reader's collection.
