«La transformación (La metamorfosis)» is the short novel by Franz Kafka, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (126 pages, in Spanish).
Gregorio Samsa, a commercial traveller, wakes up transformed into an insect. The narrative follows his adaptation to this new life and his family's reaction, in a work that explores alienation, lack of communication and dehumanisation in modern society.
The work was originally published in 1915; this Spanish edition features a translation by Juan José del Solar Bardelli.
A reference work for readers of European literary classics and twentieth-century existential narrative.
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.
