"This fine version, with David Cronenbergs inspired introduction and the new translators beguiling afterword, is, I suspect, the most disturbing though the most comforting of all so far; others will follow, but dont hesitate: this is the transforming text for you." -Richard HowardFranz Kafkas 1915 novella of unexplained horror and nightmarish transformation became a worldwide classic and remains a century later one of the most widely read works of fiction in the world. It is the story of traveling salesman Gregor Samsa, who wakes one morning to find himself transformed into a monstrous insect. This hugely influential work inspired George Orwell, Albert Camus, Jorge Louis Borges, and Ray Bradbury, while continuing to unsettle millions of readers.In her new translation of Kafkas masterpiece, Susan Bernofsky strives to capture both the humor and the humanity in this macabre tale, underscoring the ways in which Gregor Samsas grotesque metamorphosis is just the physical manifestation of his longstanding spiritual impoverishment.
