The Metamorphosis-Franz Kafka

The Metamorphosis is a seminal novella by Franz Kafka that tells the surreal and haunting story of Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman who wakes up one morning transformed into a giant insect. As Gregor struggles with his new grotesque body, he faces alienation and rejection from his family and society. The story explores themes of identity, isolation, and the absurdity of human existence. KafkaÕs spare, powerful prose and the bizarre premise create a profound psychological and existential narrative, making The Metamorphosis a landmark work in modern literature that challenges readers to confront the nature of self and otherness.
