Metamorphosis.

"The Metamorphosis" (original German title: "Die Verwandlung") was first published in 1915. It is classed by many scholars as one of the most influential works of the 20th century, and is studied in colleges and universities across the western world.

The story begins with a travelling salesman, Gregor Samsa, waking to find himself transformed into an insect. The first line reads: "When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin." He becomes an object of disgrace to his family, and is alienated in his own home. It is a harrowing, though absurdly comic study of human feelings, guilt, inadequacy, and isolation.

The story describes unexplained horror and nightmarish transformation, with startling details. It is a bizarre, yet surprisingly addictive story, which has been continually unsettling millions of readers for almost a hundred years.
