Publisher Description

Gregorio tenía un buen trabajo, era viajante y llevaba adelante a toda su familia. Una mañana Gregorio amanece con cuerpo de insecto, a consecuencia de esto se queda en su cuarto por miedo a que le vean sus familiares; estos le llamaban desesperadamente para que fuera a trabajar. Gregorio intenta ponerse en pie y acomodarse a su nuevo cuerpo, que todavía no domina. Por su retraso al trabajo, llega el procurador a su casa para llevárselo. Tras proponerse abrir la puerta y conseguirlo, causa el asombro del procurador y de su familia. El procurador se marcha sin pensárselo, su madre cae desmayada, y Gregorio sigue al procurador hasta la escalera para que no se marchara. El padre, enfadado, obliga a Gregorio a meterse en su cuarto dando patadas en el suelo, y golpes con el bastón y el periódico.Durante el otoño de 1912, en Praga, escribió Franz Kafka (1883-1924) La metamorfosis. En pocos libros de Kafka queda tan explícito y tan nítido su mundo como en La metamorfosis, en la que el protagonista, convertido en bestia, sumido en la más absoluta incomunicación, se ve reducido cruelmente a la nada y arrastrado inexorablemente a la muerte. Otros escritos de Kafka desarrollan rigurosas variaciones paralelas, desmenuzan inexorables pesadillas, asignan obsesiones enigmáticas a personajes desorientados y vencidos, pero tal vez sea La metamorfosis la narración que mejor expresa al «hombre primordial kafkiano». De ahí que merezca la calificación unánime de obra perfecta y obra maestra, un texto decididamente superior en el panorama de la literatura universal del siglo XX.Incluye el relato El silencio de las sirenas.

"This was the first time I entered one of the strange worlds of Kafka and I must admit that I was flattered and impressed by the idea and the story. I could not have possibly thought anything as strange as this story. Kafka makes you feel extremely helpless and sad when he describes Gregor Samsa's ordeal. The only thing that I disliked was the end. If I could change it, I would have definitely done it."

    " I don't get it. These stories are completely bizarre. The opening lines really drag you in, but then the stories have no real build up or resolution. If I were the judge, I would not give these stories the status of classics. That's really all I have to say about this. "

    " Kafka is one of those iconic writers that I really want to like but just don't. I love the premises of his stories, but I find them a chore to actually read. His language is overly formal and rather obfuscatory to me, which is perhaps intentional on his part, but in reality really puts me off. "

About Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka (1883–1924), one of the major fiction writers of the twentieth century, was born to a middle-class German-speaking Jewish family in Prague. His unique body of writing, much of which is incomplete and was mainly published posthumously, is considered by some people to be among the most influential in Western literature, inspiring such writers as Albert Camus, Rex Warner, and Samuel Beckett.
