SYNOPSIS
Translated, edited, and with an Introduction by Stanley Corngold
Featuring essays by Philip Roth, W. H Auden, and Walter Benjamin
"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, Franz 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 inadequacy, guilt, and isolation, The Metamorphosis has taken its place as one of the most widely read and influential works of twentieth-century fiction.
This Modern Library edition collects Stanley Corngold’s acclaimed English translation—long hailed as the gold standard by scholars and general readers alike—along with seven critical essays by writers including Philip Roth, W. H. Auden, and Walter Benjamin, background and contextual material, and a new Introduction from Corngold himself.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka nasceu em 1883, em Praga, no seio de uma família da pequena burguesia judia de expressão alemã. Começou a escrever os seus primeiros textos em 1904. Em 1906, terminou os seus estudos universitários, doutorando-se em Direito. Em vida, publicou apenas sete pequenos livros e alguns textos em revistas. De entre estes livrinhos e textos, destaca-se A Metamorfose, que veio a lume em 1915. Esta pequena novela viria a afirmar-se como uma das suas obras de referência. A 3 de junho de 1924, não resistindo à tuberculose diagnosticada em 1917, morre em Kierling, a poucos quilómetros de Viena, deixando três romances fragmentários, que seriam publicados postumamente pelo seu amigo e testamenteiro Max Brod: O Processo (1925), O Castelo (1926) e América (1927), a que se seguiram volumes com contos, cartas e diários. A sua obra, centrada no homem solitário moderno, refém de uma vida absurda, tornar-se-ia uma das mais influentes do mundo literário do século xx.
