Description
The Metamorphosis (German: Die Verwandlung, also sometimes translated as The Transformation) is a novella by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It has been cited as one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century and is studied in colleges and universities across the Western world. The story begins with a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, waking to find himself transformed (metamorphosed) into a large, monstrous insect-like creature. The cause of Samsa's transformation is never revealed, and Kafka never did give an explanation. The rest of Kafka's novella deals with Gregor's attempts to adjust to his new condition as he deals with being burdensome to his parents and sister, who are repulsed by the horrible, verminous creature Gregor has become.

4By sauidzeeeI picked up this book because I wanted something quick to read, but I am left totally empty after finishing this novel. A unique story that encapsulates the readers mind into inquiry and all consuming sadness. I often questioned how it would end and though I predicted it, I was still left devastated.um uh pjsekai samsa silly
5By bug :33i love the song and also the book uh is good its sad but its interesting ^_^Metamorphosis
2By mynamesnotmaryMannnn I really wanted to like this book, but I found myself absolutely trudging through it. The entire time I was feeling like okay c’mon wrap it up. It’s an elusive and a poetic play on the struggles of who’s someone being nursed, and someone doing the nursing (family dynamic). A story I can’t entirely relate to or have the means to care about (at least in this drawn out format). Shoulda coulda woulda recommended it as a short story. Yeeshzamuza
