About This Book
This collection contains 32 major stories written by Franz Kafka including
The Metamorphosis.
"When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself
changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin." With this startling, bizarre, yet
surprisingly funny first sentence, Kafka begins his masterpiece, The
Metamorphosis. It is the story of a young man who, transformed overnight into a
giant beetlelike insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an
outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. A harrowing --
though absurdly comic -- meditation on human feelings of inadequecy, guilt, and
isolation, The Metamorphosis has taken its place as one of the mosst widely read
and influential works of twentieth-century fiction. As W.H. Auden wrote, "Kafka
is important to us because his predicament is the predicament of modern man."
