The Metamorphosis is a seminal work of fiction first published in 1915 by Franz Kafka, and has come to be appreciated and studied the world over for it's power, insight and brutal simplicity.
The story revolves around the life of traveling salesman Gregor Samsa, who awakes one morning to find himself transformed into a grotesque insect-like creature. Becoming an object of disgust to his family, and even himself, the book becomes a darkly comic study into the universal human feelings of alienation, loneliness and inadequacy.
