Description
The Squashed edition of Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. Abridged from the original text to read in an hour or so. Squashed editions are precise abridgements - the original ideas, in their own words, the full beam of the book, the quotable quotes and all the famous lines, but neatly honed down to the length of a readable short story. ""Like reading the bible without all the begats"" - Prof. Jim Curtis

Modello indiscusso per la letteratura dell’assurdo novecentesca, l’angosciante racconto de La metamorfosi può essere letto come metafora dell’abbrutimento in cui riduce il lavoro alienante e logorante, ma anche come allegoria del diverso o della disabilità non capiti e guardati con sospetto e orrore; o ancora come condizione degradante autoindotta in difesa e protezione dal mondo e dai suoi doveri.

The Metamorphosis is one of my favourite short stories, and this is a very fun adaptation (and the art is so goooooood).
