Metamorphosis Metamorphosis

Descrição da editora

Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka is a seminal novella that explores themes of alienation, guilt, and existential anxiety. The story begins with Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman, waking up one morning to find that he has transformed into a giant insect-like creature. Struggling to come to terms with his new grotesque form, Gregor's life rapidly deteriorates as his family, initially shocked and concerned, becomes increasingly hostile and neglectful.

The novella delves deep into Gregor's internal conflict, as he grapples with feelings of worthlessness and isolation. As his transformation renders him unable to work and function in society, his family, once dependent on his financial support, becomes burdened by his presence. The story symbolizes the dehumanizing effects of modern life and work, the breakdown of family relationships, and the crushing weight of societal expectations.

Kafka's writing is bleak, surreal, and darkly comedic, making Metamorphosis a profound reflection on the human condition.
