Die Verwandlung - Metamorphosis: (German-English parallel text) (German Edition)

Die Verwandlung, Metamorphosis, is a novella by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It has been cited as one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century and is studied in colleges and universities across the Western world. The story begins with a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, waking to find himself transformed into a large, monstrous insect-like creature. The cause of Samsa's transformation is never revealed, and Kafka never did give an explanation. This volume contains Kafka's original German text facing a modern English translation.
