H Auden, and Walter BenjaminWhen Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin. With this startling, bizarre, yet surprisingly funny first sentence, Franz Kafka begins his masterpiece, The Metamorphosis. It is the story of a young man who, transformed overnight into a giant beetlelike insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. A harrowing-though absurdly comic-meditation on human feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation, The Metamorphosis has taken its place as one of the most widely read and influential works of twentieth-century fiction.This Modern Library edition collects Stanley Corngolds acclaimed English translation-long hailed as the gold standard by scholars and general readers alike-along with seven critical essays by writers including Philip Roth, W. H. Auden, and Walter Benjamin, background and contextual material, and a new Introduction from Corngold himself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51915734909216,"sku":"NEW0812985141","price":13.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-metamorphosis-modern-library-classics-0812985141","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
