The classic transformation story by Kafka. A man is transformed into a bug and how everyone deals with the situation from his mother and father, to his employer and paying boarders, and himself.

The Metamorphosis is one of the most commonly referenced books when you talk about absurd literature. It is heralded as a masterpiece of the existential literature genre because of how it demands the reader to accept the absurdity of the world just as it is. Although some of the events of the story are fantastical in nature, the ideas it conveys about existence, the meaning of life, and humanity are relatable to us in the real world, too.

One morning, traveling salesman Gregor Samsa wakes from an anxious dream to discover that he has inexplicably changed into a monstrous insect. Nonetheless, life goes on, and poor Gregor is left to deal not only with the existential questions of who or what he now is but also with more mundane concerns: his job (which he fears he’ll lose), his loved ones (whom he fears he disgusts), and the daily indignities of everyday life (which continue apace). Soon, even those who sympathize with his bizarre predicament begin to lose their patience....

"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.

The Trial is one of the great works of the 20th century - an extraordinary vision of one man put on trial by an anonymous authority on an unspecified charge. Kafka evokes all the terrifying reality of his ordeal.

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.

In einer namenlosen Strafkolonie beobachtet ein Besucher eine grausame Hinrichtungsmaschine, deren Funktion nicht nur erschüttert, sondern auch ein System aus blindem Gehorsam, Gewalt und Ritual entlarvt. Kafka verwebt in dieser Erzählung groteske Bildlichkeit mit philosophischer Tiefe – eine Parabel auf entfremdete Bürokratie, Unmenschlichkeit und die Frage nach Sinn und Schuld in modernen Machtstrukturen.

In nur einer Nacht geschrieben, entfaltet die Novelle eine beklemmende Dynamik zwischen einem jungen Mann und seinem übermächtigen Vater. Kafka verbindet familiäre Konflikte mit tiefer psychologischer Symbolik und schafft ein düsteres Bild von Schuld, Ohnmacht und dem unergründlichen Zugriff einer Autorität, die sich jeder Logik entzieht. Das Urteil ist eine der bedeutendsten Erzählungen von Franz Kafka und gilt als Schlüsseltext seines Schaffens.

The first of Kafka’s three great novels, The Man Who Disappeared (America) follows the picaresque adventures of Karl Rossman, who is banished to America following a family scandal. Upon his arrival, Karl immediately happens upon his uncle, and from there follows a pattern of wandering, adoption and expulsion as Karl marches inexorably on towards the interior of the continent. With its blitheness and comical moments, The Man Who Disappeared is perhaps the most charming of Kafka’s works.

Franz Kafkas literarisches Universum ist ein faszinierender Kosmos beängstigender, alptraumhafter Gesetzmäßigkeiten - und gerade darin ein Spiegel der Moderne. In kühl-distanzierten Worten erzählt der Autor vom Unerhörten und Unergründlichen. Gert Westphal gibt in seinen eindringlichen Lesungen dem Landarzt, dem Kübelreiter, Josef K. aus "Der Prozess" und allen weiteren Figuren eine Stimme. Enthält: "Der Prozess" (Roman, ungekürzt nach der Textgestalt der Handschrift), die Erzählungen "Wunsch, Indianer zu werden", "Die Bäume", "Ein Landarzt", "Auf der Galerie".

The story begins with a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, waking to find himself transformed (metamorphosed) into a large, monstrous insect-like creature. The cause of Gregor's transformation is never revealed, and Kafka himself never gave an explanation. The rest of Kafka's novella deals with Gregor's attempts to adjust to his new condition as he deals with being burdensome to his parents and sister, who are repulsed by the horrible, verminous creature Gregor has become.

"Draga tata, M-ai întrebat odata, acum de curând, de ce sustin ca mi-e frica de tine. Ca de obicei, n-am stiut ce sa-ti raspund, în parte tocmai pentru ca mi-e frica de tine, în parte pentru ca frica asta se întemeiaza pe prea multe elemente ca sa ti le pot enumera macar pe jumatate stând de vorba cu tine. Si daca încerc acum sa-ti raspund în scris, raspunsul meu va fi foarte incomplet, pentru ca si în scris, frica si urmarile ei ma paralizeaza în fata ta si pentru ca proportiile acestei situatii depasesc cu mult puterile memoriei si ratiunii mele."

La metamorfosis cuenta la historia de la transformación de Gregorio Samsa en un monstruoso insecto, y del drama familiar que, a raíz de este acontecimiento, se desata. En este relato se ha querido ver una alegoría del enfrentamiento del hombre ante un mundo moderno que lo oprime y lo borra.

One of the great works of the 20th century, Kafka's The Trial has been read as a study of political power, a pessimistic religious parable, or a crime novel where the accused man is himself the problem. In it, a man wakes up one morning to find himself under arrest for an offence which is never explained. Faced with this ambiguous but threatening situation, Josef K. gradually succumbs to its psychological pressure.

An odd but well-loved short story following steps into madness. A country doctor has had more work than he can handle, and the stress seems to have taken him to a place that seems as at home in nightmares as in the madness of an overworked mind. Kafka's work often lends itself to the turmoil of the human mind. In this respect the story does not fail to impress.

New translation of The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. Poor Gregor Samsa! This guy wakes up one morning to discover that he's become a "monstrous vermin". The first pages of The Metamorphosis where Gregor tries to communicate through the bedroom door with his family, who think he's merely being lazy, is vintage screwball comedy. Indeed, scholars and readers alike have delighted in Kafka's gallows humor and matter-of-fact handling of the absurd and the terrifying.
