"As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect."

The Metamorphosis - the masterpiece of Franz Kafka - was first published in 1915 and is one of the seminal works of fiction of the twentieth century. The novel is cited as a key influence for many of today’s leading authors; as Auden wrote:  "Kafka is important to us because his predicament is the predicament of modern man".

Traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, wakes to find himself transformed into a large, monstrous insect-like creature. The cause of Gregor''s transformation is never revealed, and as he attempts to adjust to his new condition he becomes a burden to his parents and sister, who are repelled by the horrible, verminous creature Gregor has become.

A harrowing, yet strangely comic, meditation on human feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation, The Metamorphosishas taken its place as one of the most widely read and influential works of twentieth-century fiction.

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.
