About the book

'One of the few great and perfect works of poetic imagination written during this century' Elias Canetti

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ADAM THIRWELL

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 the other famous stories included here, Kafka explores the confusing nature of human experience with sly wit and compelling originality.
