The Metamorphosis

Synopsis

In Metamorphosis, Gregor Samsa, a travelling salesman by trade, awakens one morning to find his body has mutated into that of a repulsive bug.

Outwardly a monstrous insect, only his thought processes remain human.

Whilst his family grow accustomed to supporting themselves without his once essential income, Gregor's suffering becomes ever more pronounced as he witnesses the corruption of their former dependence on him.

This volume also includes a number of other short stories by Kafka, all newly translated.
