Description

New translation of The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
Poor Gregor Samsa! This guy wakes up one morning to discover that he's become a "monstrous vermin".

The first pages of The Metamorphosis where Gregor tries to communicate through the bedroom door with his family, who think he’s merely being lazy, is vintage screwball comedy. Indeed, scholars and readers alike have delighted in Kafka’s gallows humor and matter-of-fact handling of the absurd and the terrifying.

But it is one of the most enigmatic stories of all time, with an opening sentence that’s unparalleled in all of literature.

    The story is absolutely fantastic. My low rating is based on the way the story was abridged. The infamous first sentence that anybody from around the world would recognize is gone and so is the premise of the story. Whoever edited this version and posted it as it is should be ashamed.

  • Thumbs down!

    I’m reading a hard copy and downloaded this to continue on my phone. This is some kind of abridged version. Don’t bother with it. You will miss the first part that is only summarized here. Thumbs down!

  • Bad edition

    there are multiple typos and it isn’t the full story which makes the whole thing that much more confusing.

  • Not the entire book

    This version begins somewhere in the middle of the story for some damned reason. Found out once I finished and was pretty annoyed about it.
