Descrição
This is the story of a young man who, transformed overnight into a giant beetle-like 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.
In her new translation of Kafka’s masterpiece, Susan Bernofsky strives to capture both the humor and the humanity in this macabre tale, underscoring the ways in which Gregor Samsa’s grotesque metamorphosis is just the physical manifestation of his longstanding spiritual impoverishment.

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.

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