About?

Metamorphosis (German Die Verwandlung) is a haunting novella by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915, that has earned its place as one of the most significant works of 20th-century literature. The story opens with Gregor Samsa, a dedicated traveling salesman, waking up to an unimaginable reality he has transformed into a grotesque, insect-like creature. The reason behind this bizarre metamorphosis remains a mystery, as Kafka deliberately leaves it unexplained. The narrative unfolds as Gregor grapples with his shocking new identity and the growing alienation from his family, who are repulsed by the monstrous being he has become. This powerful tale delves into themes of isolation, identity, and the human condition, making it a profound study in the complexities of existence. - Summary by Wikipedia
