As his family grow accustomed to supporting themselves without his once essential income, Gregors suffering becomes ever more pronounced. He witnesses the corruption of their former dependence on him. Obliged to work to keep themselves and admit lodgers to their home, the Samsa family generates a disgust and a contempt for the creature that has supported them for so long, imprisoning Gregor in the stasis of an unused box room. His sister, Grete, to whom he was once so close, now wants to be rid of him, his fathers new industry leaves him no time to remember the transformed son he used to terrorise, and his loving mother now neglects him.
Metamorphosis is Kafkas most famous short story, a work where, in the words of Vladimir Nabokov, contrast and unity, style and matter, manner and plot are most perfectly integrated. This is a heart-rending dystopia in which love itself becomes alienated and repugnant. This volume also includes a number of other short stories by Kafkas, all newly translated. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
