Theo Todman's Book Collection (Book-Paper Abstracts)

Back Cover Blurb

• Metamorphosis¹ is one of the most terrifying stories ever written. A man wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect. Kafka describes his reactions and the reactions of his family – at first horrified, then kind, wrathful, despising, and finally negligent.
• This haunted parable on human reaction to suffering and disease has already become a classic.
• Other stories in this volume, which contains the best of Kafka's short stories, are The Great Wall of China, Investigations of a Dog, The Burrow, In the Penal Settlement, and The Giant Mole.
