Franz Kafka was a German-speaking Bohemian novelist and short story writer based in Prague. He is regarded as a major figure of 20th-century literature. His work combines both realism and the fantastic. In the story, “The Metamorphosis,” the protagonist is Gregor Samsa. One day he wakes up... in the form of a gigantic insect. Gregor is left without work, and his relatives lock him in a room, adding to his anguish. These changes that completely isolate Gregor from the world lead to his death in the end. This is actually a relief for his family who by then are sick of him. The story’s description of Gregor’s gradual expulsion from the circle of people closest to him is read as a process of ruthless rejection of "others,” individuals suffering from their own human misfortune, by a prosperous yet indifferent society. Review: Allegory and Themes: thinking outside the box. - A must-read book for anyone who is into interpretation and out-of-the-box thinking. Kafka masterfully explores different themes and invites the reader to dive into the world of Gregor’s life before - and after the ‘transformation’. Highly recommend to all potential readers and Kafka’s fans. Review: classic - it came super quickly and in good condition

A classic!
A classic book that should be on every literature-lovers shelf! Tho is the story of a salesman who turned into a cockroach who is eventually accepted by his family, but becomes isolated nonetheless. It’s a great story to explore the themes of alienation in our society.
