«La metamorfosis y otros relatos» is a collection of stories by Franz Kafka published by Editorial Luis Vives (Edelvives) in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
La metamorfosis tells the story of a travelling salesman who wakes up transformed into a huge insect and must face the rejection of his own family. Through this starting point, Kafka builds a reflection on alienation, loneliness and guilt, and the volume is completed with other short stories that maintain that same unsettling atmosphere.
Published in 2004, it belongs to Edelvives' Clásicos Juveniles collection, aimed at young readers.
Aimed at readers aged 11 to 15 and at those seeking a first approach to Kafka's work.
Franz Kafka was a German-language Jewish Czech writer and novelist born in Prague, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Widely regarded as a major figure of 20th-century literature, his works fuse elements of realism and the fantastique, and typically feature isolated protagonists facing bizarre or surreal predicaments and incomprehensible bureaucratic powers. The term Kafkaesque has entered the lexicon to describe situations like those depicted in his writings. His best-known works include the novella The Metamorphosis (1915) and the novels The Trial (1924) and The Castle (1926). He is also celebrated for his brief fables and aphorisms, which frequently incorporated comedic elements alongside the darker themes of his longer works. His work has widely influenced artists, philosophers, composers, filmmakers, literary historians, religious scholars, and cultural theorists.
