Metamorphosis - Tapa blanda

The Metamorphosis first published in 1915 is called one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century. It is the story of a young Gregor Samsa 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. Virtually unknown during his lifetime, Franz Kafka is now one of the world’s most widely read and discussed authors. His nightmarish novels and short stories have come to symbolize modern man’s anxiety and alienation in a bizarre, hostile, and dehumanized world.
