Description

Franz Kafka's 'The Metamorphosis' is a seminal piece of 20th-century literature that explores themes of alienation, identity, and the absurdity of human existence. The novella tells the story of Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman who wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect. As Gregor struggles to adapt to his new form, his family grapples with the implications of his metamorphosis, leading to a profound commentary on the human condition.
