Metamorphosis

“I’m alone in my room for days, it doesn’t hurt. Wasn’t I alone in the world for years anyway?” Franz Kafka’s work, The Metamorphosis, published in 1915, is the peak of the author’s narrative art. It is among the most read books in the world. It is a disturbing and exciting story that leaves the reader with questions. It is about Gregor Samsa, who wakes up one day and realizes that he has turned into a giant insect. It expresses the corrupt family relations in petty bourgeois circles and the tragedy of the individual who rebels against the stereotypes. It depicts loneliness and metamorphosis in a unique style. “He is the greatest German writer of our time…” -Vladimir Nabokov. Tanıtım Metni
