Has only minor edge wear and appears to have not been read. - 'When Gregour Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin.' With this startling, bizarre, yet surprisingly funny very first sentence, Kafka begins his masterpiece. The Metamorphosis . It is the story of a young man who, transformed overnight into a giant beetlelike insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. A harrowing - though absurdly comic - meditation on human feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation. Translated and edited by Stanley Corngold, with generous critical materials including essays, notes, and selections from Kafka's letters and diaries.
