Metamorphosis tells the tale of Gregor Samsa, a young salesman, who wakes up one day to find he has turned into ?a kind of giant bug?. Samsa has been a model of virtue for years, single-handedly supporting his parents and sister, but suddenly he finds himself an outcast in his own home, facing a world in which he no longer has a place. Both harrowing and humorous, Metamorphosis is a strange, subtle, and moving novella which everyone should read.
