The Metamorphosis & Other Selected Stories by Franz Kafka presents a powerful collection of existential and surreal tales from one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. Anchored by the iconic novella The Metamorphosis-in which a man awakens to find himself transformed into a giant insect-this volume explores themes of alienation, guilt, identity, and the absurdity of modern life. Kafka's haunting, dreamlike prose and unsettling narratives delve into the anxieties of the human condition with unmatched psychological depth. Including works such as In the Penal Colony, A Hunger Artist, and Before the Law, this collection captures Kafka's unique vision of a world where logic fails, bureaucracy crushes the spirit, and meaning remains elusive.
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was a German-speaking Jewish writer from Prague, widely regarded as one of the most important figures in 20th-century literature. His works often explore themes of alienation, existential anxiety, and the absurdity of modern life. Kafka's writing is known for its surreal, nightmarish quality, blending the real and the irrational. His most famous works include The Metamorphosis (1915), in which a man wakes up to find himself transformed into a giant insect, and The Trial (1914-1915), which follows a man caught in an illogical and oppressive legal system. Kafka's works have had a lasting impact on literature and culture, with the term "Kafkaesque" used to describe situations that are bizarre, disorienting, and illogical. Despite limited recognition during his lifetime, Kafka is now considered a literary giant.
