The Metamorphosis

By Franz Kafka

Paperback 

Metamorphosis tells the tale of Gregor Samsa, a young salesman, who wakes up one day to find he has turned into "a kind of giant bug". Samsa has been a model of virtue for years, single-handedly supporting his parents and sister, but suddenly he finds himself an outcast in his own home, facing a world in which he no longer has a place.
