Surreal nightmare reveals spiritual impoverishment.

"The Metamorphosis" resonates because it's more than just a bizarre tale; it speaks to the alienation and dehumanization that can come from the mundanity and isolation of modern life. Reading Kafka's work is like peering into a dark mirror, revealing uncomfortable truths through its absurd and grotesque imagery. Anyone who's ever felt disconnected from themselves or society will find Gregor Samsa's story both haunting and strangely familiar.

Description

This is the story of a young man who, transformed overnight into a giant beetle-like insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. A harrowing—though absurdly comic—meditation on human feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation, The Metamorphosis has taken its place as one of the most widely read and influential works of twentieth-century fiction. In her new translation of Kafka’s masterpiece, Susan Bernofsky strives to capture both the humor and the humanity in this macabre tale, underscoring the ways in which Gregor Samsa’s grotesque metamorphosis is just the physical manifestation of his longstanding spiritual impoverishment.
