←Return to main library

Original Title: The Metamorphosis, And Selected Short Stories

Author: Franz Kafka

Genres: Fiction, Short Fiction

Publisher: Madness Serial Publishing

File Version: 2.0

With a startling, bizarre, yet surprisingly funny first opening, Kafka begins his masterpiece, The Metamorphosis, the story of a young man who, transformed overnight into a giant beetle-like 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. As W.H. Auden wrote, "Kafka is important to us because his predicament is the predicament of modern man."

This original edition also includes some of the best short stories by Kafka like “The Judgment”, “In the Penal Colony”, “A Country Doctor”, and more.
