Overview
A strange, captivating story of transformation and despair. This renowned 20th-century German literary classic is now published in a new translation by Shaun Whiteside.
Gregor Samsa, a dedicated and hardworking travelling salesman, awakes one morning to a horrific realization. He finds himself changed beyond recognition. Insect-like, enormous and completely disorientated, he cowers in his bedroom, desperate to escape this nightmare.
Gregor’s cruel boss and his family are horrified. Formerly the only breadwinner, Gregor is shut in his room and is all but abandoned by his household, with only his sister bothering to bring him scraps of food. As days turn into months, tensions rise at home and eventually Gregor’s family abandon him completely, leaving him to fend for himself.
