This hardback gift edition presents Franz Kafka's celebrated novella, Metamorphosis, featuring a silver embossed cover design, patterned endpapers and gilded page edges.
A masterful mix of horror and absurdity, Metamorphosis tells the story of travelling salesman Samsa, who wakes up one day to find out he has turned into a giant insect. Samsa has been a model of virtue for years, single-handedly supporting his parents and young sister. Suddenly he finds himself outcast in his own home, facing a world in which he no longer has a place. Simultaneously harrowing and humorous, Metamorphosis is a strange, subtle and moving novella which has become a classic of world literature.
This elegant pocket-sized gift edition includes the classic, unabridged text, introduced and translated by William Aaltonen. It is presented with a silver embossed cover design, beautifully designed endpapers and gilded page edges. Part of the Arcturus Ornate Classics series, this edition makes wonderful gift for any lovers of classic fiction.
ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Ornate Classics are beautifully bound editions of iconic literary works across history. These compact, foil-embossed hardbacks are printed using deluxe ivory paper and make the perfect gift. About the Author Franz Kafka (1883-1924) received little recognition for his writing during his lifetime but is now hailed as one of the greatest authors of the 20th century. His work is both harrowing and humorous, featuring individuals caught up in an impersonal and bureaucratic world over which they have increasingly little power. His most well-known works include Metamorphosis and The Trial.
