About This Book

Published in 1915, The Metamorphosis established Franz Kafka as one of the defining voices in literary fiction. Gregor Samsa wakes one morning to find himself transformed into a gigantic insect. Kafka's most famous story is a profound exploration of family, work, alienation, and the burden of being a provider—told with a matter-of-fact clarity that makes it all the more unsettling. Themes of alienation, family, work run through the work. The book has received recognition from ALA Notable Books 1915.
