New e-book: The Metamorphosis, Franz Kafka
Published on
In an unnamed Central European city, within the bourgeois milieu of the early twentieth century, the life of the Samsa family reveals the deepening alienation between the individual and the world around them. Through the experiences of Gregor and Grete, themes of family duty, the pressures of work, human dignity, and compassion unfold. The intrusion of the impossible into everyday reality alters the dimensions of ordinary life, raising the question of what keeps a person human when they no longer meet the expectations of those around them.
