Book Summary

The Metamorphosis is a surreal and haunting novella by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. The story centers on Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman who wakes up one morning to find himself inexplicably transformed into a giant insect-like creature. As Gregor struggles to adapt to his new form, he becomes increasingly alienated from his family and society. Once the breadwinner, he is now viewed as a burden, and his existence becomes one of isolation, shame, and slow decline. The narrative explores deep themes such as identity, guilt, dehumanization, and the fragile nature of human relationships. Blending absurdity with emotional depth, The Metamorphosis is a powerful critique of modern life and remains one of the most influential works of 20th-century literature.

About the Author:

Franz Kafka (1883–1924) was a German-speaking Bohemian writer born in Prague, in what is now the Czech Republic. Widely regarded as one of the most important literary figures of the 20th century, Kafka is best known for his exploration of alienation, existential dread, and the absurdity of modern bureaucracy. His unique style, often described as "Kafkaesque," presents surreal situations grounded in a stark emotional reality. Although Kafka published only a small number of works during his lifetime, including The Metamorphosis, The Trial, and The Castle, his writing has had a profound and lasting influence on literature, philosophy, and popular culture. Much of his work was published posthumously by his friend Max Brod, against Kafka's own wishes, ensuring that his legacy would reach far beyond his lifetime.
