“One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin.” Perhaps Kafka’s most famous work, Metamorphosis is a surrealist novella narrating the misfortunes of Gregor Samsa, an unhappy salesman who finds himself inexplicably turned into an insect.<br/><br/>The longest of Kafka’s brief works, it is nonetheless a terse and potent contribution to Western literature.<br/><br/>This edition is translated by David Wyllie.
