Metamorphosis

'I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.'

One of the most significant novellas of the twentieth century, Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis is a deeply haunting exploration of identity, isolation and the existential shadows that follow the human experience.

Gregor Samsa, a seemingly average salesman and cloth merchant, awakes one morning to find himself transformed into a monstrous insect. Trapped inside his new grotesque form, Gregor struggles to hold down his job and maintain his place in the family who become increasingly wary of him, frightful of his new body. Soon Gregor is unable to communicate at all, and becomes fearful he will forget his human side altogether. Darkly surreal and emotionally charged, The Metamorphosis remains a masterpiece of modern literature. This audiobook edition is expertly narrated by Roger May. Franz Kafka (1883 – 1924) was an Austrian-Czech novelist, and is regarded as one of the most significant literary figures of the twentieth century. His work often blended realism with the fantastical; 'Kafkaesque' has become a widely used term which describes an absurd situation, much like the events portrayed in his writing.
