The Metamorphosis: A Haunting Allegory of Isolation, Identity, and the Struggle to Be Seen

Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis opens with one of literature's most famous transformations: Gregor Samsa awakens to find himself turned into an insect. As his family reacts with shock, fear, and resentment, Kafka explores themes of alienation, responsibility, and the fragile ties that bind individuals to one another. This restored edition presents the novella in a clear, modern format while preserving Kafka's stark prose, emotional subtlety, and darkly surreal vision. Profoundly symbolic and deeply human, the story continues to provoke reflection and debate over its meaning and modern relevance. Widely regarded as a masterpiece of twentieth-century literature, it remains essential reading for those drawn to psychological depth and existential themes.
