The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. Abridged.
Full text here.
"The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka is a surreal and existential novella that tells the story of Gregor Samsa, a young man who wakes up one morning to discover that he has transformed into a giant insect. The narrative follows Gregor's attempts to cope with his new insectoid form and the profound impact it has on his relationships with his family and his own sense of self.
As Gregor grapples with his physical metamorphosis, he becomes increasingly isolated from his family, who react with a combination of fear, disgust, and resentment. The story explores themes of alienation, absurdity, and the dehumanizing effects of societal expectations.
Throughout the novella, Kafka employs a surreal and symbolic style, using Gregor's transformation as a metaphor for the dehumanizing aspects of modern life. The narrative unfolds in a Kafkaesque fashion, with a dreamlike logic that blurs the boundaries between reality and the absurd.
"The Metamorphosis" is a compelling exploration of existential themes, portraying the human condition through the lens of an extraordinary and unsettling transformation. Kafka's work has had a lasting impact, influencing literature and philosophy with its exploration of the absurdities of human existence.
