A Metamorfose é a mais célebre novela de Franz Kafka e uma das mais importantes de toda a história da literatura. O texto coloca o leitor diante de um caixeiro-viajante - o famoso Gregor Samsa - transformado em insecto monstruoso. A partir daí, a história é narrada com um realismo inesperado que associa o inverosímil e o senso de humor ao que é trágico, grotesco e cruel na condição humana - tudo no estilo transparente e perfeito desse mestre inconfundível da ficção universal.

0A really short story about an odd transformation. Kakfa is by far, not my favorite author. His writing style is heavy and not easy on the eye. Nevertheless, this is one of the best stories I read by him.
As for themes, I could glance some references to feeling overwhelmed by worked, disapointed with your career path, apathy, even a glimpse of depression and frustration. I feel many working adults could relate to this, when you have so much work and you feel so overwhelmed that your whole life is just working, you start wondering if it is worth in the end. And Kakfa is able to translated it well into Gregor.
If you want to get a glimpse on the author, this is a good introduction. Final rating: 3,25 stars.
