"This volume contains some of Kafka's most famous stories, including 'Metamorphosis' in which Gregor Samsa wakes one morning from unsettling dreams to find himself transformed into a giant beetle-like insect. He becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home; the quintessential alienated man.

“ "Gregor's appeals to his father were of no help, his appeals were simply not understood, however much he humbly turned his head his father merely stamped his foot all the harder."”
