The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka

The Metamorphosis is one of the most iconic works of modern literature by Franz Kafka. The story begins with the shocking transformation of Gregor Samsa, who wakes up one morning to find himself turned into a giant insect.

As Gregor struggles to adapt to his new reality, his family’s reactions reveal themes of alienation, isolation, guilt, and the fragile nature of human relationships. Kafka masterfully portrays the absurdity of existence and the cruelty of societal expectations.

Both disturbing and deeply philosophical, The Metamorphosis remains a timeless exploration of identity and humanity, making it essential reading for classic literature lovers.
