Metamorphosis - Kafka Franz

"A book must be an ice-axe to break the seas frozen inside our soul."Franz KafkaMetamorphosis 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.Both harrowing and humorous, Metamorphosis is a strange, subtle and moving story which everyone should read.
