Metamorphosis and Other Stories: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

Fabulous modern classic author. Book quality and font superb. A joy to read.

The Metamorphosis is a tragic story of alienation of Gregor Samsa when he suddenly became a vile creature (typical Kafka-esque). Franz kafka was a literary hero with an unique touch of social alienation and absurdity.

Ottimo, odio il padre di Kafka

I enjoyed this and it made me laugh and cry...man wakes up to find he's turned into a giant cockroach so he calls in sick (can't argue with that really) and initially people try and find out where he is and what's happening but it's kind of tragic how his friends and family lose patience with him, like people do when they get fatigue from others illnesses I guess. That's more a reflection of us than him as a cockroach. It's a short book, you can just about finish it in one sitting like a train ride or flight. I couldn't help feeling like the book was a bit half finished.

Acho que é uma das edições mais bonitas de toda obra do Kafka publicadas, aqui além de metamorfose, este livro possui uma coletânea de outras histórias que Kafka escreveu e trechos de seu diário. Muito feliz por tê-la adquirido!!!!!
