Ce matin-là, lorsque Gregor Samsa veut se lever pour aller travailler, quelque chose l'en empêche. C'est en réalité son propre corps qui s'est métamorphosé en insecte pendant la nuit. Désormais, il n'inspire que le dégoût, et n'a plus aucune autonomie. Personne ne croit à sa capacité à ressentir des émotions malgré son aspect monstrueux. La métamorphose s'opère également dans le comportement de ceux qu'il aime et qui ne veulent plus de lui, dans son rapport à l'espace, à lui-même et à l'existence.

Joseph K., cadre de banque, est arrêté chez lui, un beau matin, sans raison, le jour de son trentième anniversaire. Si on le laisse libre d’aller et venir, il ne cesse de se heurter à des obstacles absurdes, à des êtres étranges, à une réalité qui semble se dérober à mesure qu’il tente de percer le mystère de son " arrestation ". Une justice invisible mais menaçante, qui ne définit jamais la faute qu’il a pu commettre, le cerne de toutes parts.

"Geniul lui Kafka este de a povesti ca pe o poveste reala, de a folosi realismul in descrierea unei situatii enorm fictionale. (...) Din clipa in care axioma metamorfozei imposibile este pusa pe tapet, lucrurile curg de la sine ca in cea mai realista poveste din lume. Care este suprema grozavie pe care poate s-o pateasca un om? Este sa cada intr-o nenorocire, sa isi imagineze ca este sprijinit de cei din jurul lui, ca este sustinut, ca nu e singur pe lume si ca el va iesi pana la urma la liman cu ajutorul celorlalti; ori povestea din Metamorfoza este povestea parasirii treptate.

Franz Kafkas literarisches Universum ist ein faszinierender Kosmos beängstigender, alptraumhafter Gesetzmäßigkeiten - und gerade darin ein Spiegel der Moderne.

Enthält: "Der Prozess" (Roman, ungekürzt nach der Textgestalt der Handschrift), die Erzählungen "Wunsch, Indianer zu werden", "Die Bäume", "Ein Landarzt", "Auf der Galerie".

In the days when hunger could be cultivated and practiced as an art form, the individuals who practiced it were often put on show for all to see. One man who was so devout in his pursuit of hunger pushed against the boundaries set by the circus that housed him and strived to go longer than 40 days without food. As interest in his art began to fade, he pushed the boundaries even further. In this short story about one man's plight to prove his worth, Franz Kafka illustrates the themes of self-hatred, dedication, and spiritual yearning.
