Metamorphosis & Some Other Stories. (Heathen Edition)

Kafka's storytelling is characterized by isolated protagonists confronting surreal and absurd situations, reflecting the complexities of modern life. In "Metamorphosis," Gregor Samsa's transformation into a giant insect serves as a profound exploration of alienation and identity. This edition includes ten additional short stories and parables, such as "In the Penal Colony" and "A Hunger Artist," showcasing Kafka's unique blend of realism and the fantastical, as well as his critique of socio-bureaucratic systems.
