Description
'One of the few great and perfect works of poetic imagination written during this century' Elias Canetti
With an introduction by Adam Thirlwell
One morning, Gregor Samsa wakes up to find himself transformed into a giant insect. His family is understandably perturbed, and he finds himself an outsider in his own home.
In Metamorphosis and Other Stories, Kafka explores the confusing nature of human experience with sly wit and compelling originality.

About the Author
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was born into a Jewish family in Prague. In 1906 he received a doctorate in jurisprudence, and for many years he worked a tedious job as a civil service lawyer investigating claims at the State Worker's Accident Insurance Institute. He never married, and published only a few slim volumes of stories during his lifetime. Meditation, a collection of sketches, appeared in 1912; The Stoker- A Fragment in 1913; Metamorphosis in 1915; The Judgement in 1916; In the Penal Colony in 1919; and A Country Doctor in 1920. The great novels were not published until after his death from tuberculosis- America, The Trial and The Castle.
