Metamorphosis, Paperback Book, By: Franz Kafka

One morning, when gregor samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. ' thus begins the metamorphosis, cited as one of the seminal works of fiction of the twentieth century. A story of gregor samsa, a travelling salesman, who wakes up one day to discover that he has metamorphosed into a bug, the metamorphosis is a book that concerns itself with the themes of alienation, disillusionment and existentialism. As samsa struggles to reconcile his humanity with his transformation, kafka, very deftly, weaves his readers into a web that deals with the absurdity of existence, the alienating experience of modern life and the cruelty and incomprehensibility of authoritarian power, leaving them at once stunned and impressed.
