Metamorphosis (English) by Franz Kafka

WAKE UP AND FACE THE ABSURDITY.

"When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin."

So begins Franz Kafka's most famous and chilling novella, The Metamorphosis. This is more than a bizarre fantasy; it is a profound and deeply unsettling exploration of human isolation, duty, and the limits of compassion.

Gregor Samsa, a dutiful traveling salesman and the sole provider for his demanding family, awakens to a physical transformation that is as terrifying as it is unexplained. Suddenly stripped of his human form, he becomes a repulsive insect, trapped and helpless in his own room.

Kafka uses this central, shocking event to launch a timeless inquiry into the pressures of modern life. It is a brilliant, unsettling portrait of a family that transforms from dependent to disgusted, forcing the reader to confront universal questions.

A haunting and unforgettable read that will change the way you view work, family, and your own identity.
