About
Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis, first published in 1915, has been cited as one of the seminal works of fiction of the twentieth century. The story begins when a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a gigantic insect. This extraordinary tale of imagination was written by Kafka against the backdrop of increasing turmoil in central Europe and remains not just an affecting tale but a disturbing allegory.

"In The Metamorphosis Kafka reached the height of his mastery: he wrote something which he could never surpass, because there is nothing which The Metamorphosis could be surpassed by-one of the few great, perfect poetic works of this century."
Elias Canetti, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1981
"One of the seminal writers of the twentieth century. Each work is unique and spellbinding. You don't know what's going to happen and you can't put it down."
