The Metamorphosis

One morning, he woke up and discovered he was no longer human.

The Metamorphosis (1915), by Franz Kafka, is a surreal and unsettling story that has become one of the cornerstones of 20th-century literature.

It begins with a shocking transformation: Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman, awakens to find himself inexplicably changed into a monstrous insect. As he struggles to adapt to his grotesque new form, his family's love, patience, and compassion unravel—revealing not only Gregor's isolation but also the fragile ties that hold human relationships together.

Kafka's haunting tale is more than a story of physical metamorphosis—it is a profound allegory of alienation, guilt, and the absurdity of modern existence. Blending the ordinary with the nightmarish, The Metamorphosis forces readers to confront the unsettling boundaries between self, society, and identity.

Widely regarded as Kafka's masterpiece, this novella continues to resonate with readers, offering layers of meaning that are as disturbing as they are unforgettable.
