Durante el otoño de 1912, en Praga, escribió Franz Kafka (1883-1924) La metamorfosis, la peripecia subterránea y literal de Gregor Samsa, un viajante de comercio que al despertarse una mañana "de un sueño lleno de pesadillas se encontró en su cama convertido en un bicho enorme".

Description
Kafka's final novel was written during 1922, when the tuberculosis that was to kill him was already at an advanced stage. Fragmentary and unfinished, it perhaps never could have been finished; perhaps the tensions between K., the Castle and the village, K.'s struggle for acceptance or recognition by the mysterious Castle authorities or by the people of the village, never will and never can be resolved.Like much of Kafka's work, The Castle is enigmatic...

"Als Gregor Samsa eines Morgens aus unruhigen Träumen erwachte, fand er sich in seinem Bett zu einem ungeheueren Ungeziefer verwandelt." So beginnt Kafkas wohl bekannteste Geschichte. Das Ungeheuerliche wird detailliert und sachlich, fast im Stile eines nüchternen Tatsachenberichts geschrieben.
Die emotional regungslose Art der Erzählung und die Unfassbarkeit des Inhalts des Erzählten bilden einen scharfen Kontrast, welcher dem Unmöglichen die...
