Overview

The Metamorphosis: Bilingual Edition (German and English) Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis is a cornerstone of 20th-century literature. Originally written in German, this novella tells the surreal story of Gregor Samsa, a young man who mysteriously transforms into a gigantic insect. This seemingly absurd premise evolves into a profound exploration of alienation, identity, and human isolation. The text delves into themes of existential anxiety and the marginalization faced by individuals who do not conform to societal norms. Kafka's work is as relevant today as it was when first published in 1915, speaking to contemporary readers through its exploration of identity and the human condition. This bilingual edition, featuring the original German alongside an English translation, offers readers a valuable opportunity to engage directly with Kafka's iconic prose while enhancing their language skills. It is an ideal resource for language learners, literature enthusiasts, and those interested in deep comparative reading, allowing them to appreciate the nuances of Kafka's expression and the translator's interpretation.
