Metamorphosis – Franz Kafka (Hardcover)

Description

“Calm ―indeed the calmest― reflection might be better than the most confused decisions”

One morning, Gregor Samsa wakes up to find himself transformed into a horrible vermin. Here begins Metamorphosis, the most resounding story of the inherent human conflicts and the suppressed dark side of the human existence.

As Samsa struggles to remind those around him that he is still human despite his new repulsive appearance; we see his friends and family struggle to remember the person that lives in this unappealing creature. Are we inherently a superficial society?

Can we truly look past the surface to appreciate inner beauty? Do we possess the ability to selfishly care for others?

The Metamorphosis is a compelling, sarcastic, and emotional story holding a mirror to the feelings of alienation common to all alike.
