Metamorphosis and Other Works

by Franz Kafka, Kimberley Dunn (Editor)

Overview

One of the most unsettling yet profound novellas of the 20th century, Kafka's "Metamorphosis" follows Gregor Samsa's transformation into "a horrible vermin" and displays the effect this has on his family.

Given Kafka's talent in being able to combine the absurd and tragic, the "Metamorphosis" - as well as his other works - prove timeless classics that fully examines alienation and dehumanization as well as the depths of the human condition.
