About this eBook
"The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka is an unforgettable novella that delves into the surreal and unsettling transformation of Gregor Samsa, who awakens one morning to find himself turned into a giant insect. As Gregor struggles with his new physical state, he faces isolation and rejection from his family and society. Kafka’s story expertly captures the alienation, anxiety, and existential dread of modern life, inviting reflection on identity, responsibility, and humanity’s vulnerability. Through striking symbolism and an atmosphere of unease, the novella provides a powerful commentary on the loss of individuality and the fragility of personal connections. Both disturbing and deeply moving, "The Metamorphosis" remains a classic of world literature, resonating with readers in its questioning of what it means to be human.

About the author
Franz Kafka (1883–1924) was a German-speaking writer born in Prague. He is renowned for his exploration of alienation, existential anxiety, and bureaucratic absurdity in modern society. Kafka’s haunting stories—including "The Metamorphosis," "The Trial," and "The Castle"—are considered some of the most influential works of 20th-century literature. Despite his modest literary output during his lifetime, Kafka’s distinct style and themes have made him a central figure in world literature, and the term "Kafkaesque" has come to describe situations marked by surreal distortion and helplessness.
