₨ 200.00
The Metamorphosis is a story of symbolism, written by Austrian writer Franz Kafka and originally published in German as Die Verwandlung in 1915. The Metamorphosis begins with a boy, Gregor Samsa, waking up one morning from uneasy dreams to find himself transformed into a giant insect. Although Samsa has sometimes been described as a cockroach, the German word Ungeziefer does not refer to any specific species of bug. His cruel father shuts him away in his bedroom, and, after his father throws an apple at him, Gregor slowly dies from both his family’s negligence and his own guilty hopelessness.
This beautiful reprint of the original novel is unabridged and unedited, preserving The Metamorphosis for your reading pleasure. It will make a wonderful addition to your library of classic literature. Excerpt: One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. Features: The Original 1915 Text A thought-provoking tale of symbolic significance Dimensions: 6×9 inches Matte Cover
