Overview
Edición especial en tapa dura de La metamorfosis, la obra capital de Franz Kafka, seguida de otros dos relatos inolvidables: «La condena» y «El fogonero».
La transformación de Gregor Samsa en un bicho monstruoso, similar a un enorme escarabajo, es uno de los hitos de la literatura universal. En esta edición, la obra más conocida del genial escritor checo, La metamorfosis, se recoge con otros dos relatos suyos, «La condena» y «El fogonero», tres obras que el propio Kafka planeó publicar juntas, sin llegar a concretarlo.
Las tres son un fiel ejemplo de la maestría literaria de Kafka y de su impecable tratamiento de temas universales: la familia, la identidad, la pequeña burguesía, el dinero y los deberes filiales.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Special hardcover edition of The Metamorphosis, Franz Kafka’s magnum opus, followed by two other unforgettable stories: “The Judgment” and “The Stoker.”
Gregor Samsa’s transformation into a monstrous creature, resembling a giant beetle, is one of the milestones of world literature. In this edition, the most famous work by the brilliant Czech writer, The Metamorphosis, is collected alongside two of his other stories, “The Judgment” and “The Stoker”—three works that Kafka himself planned to publish together, though he never managed to do so.
All three are a faithful example of Kafka’s literary mastery and his impeccable treatment of universal themes: family, identity, the petty bourgeoisie, money, and filial duties.
