Yet when he inexplicably awakens transformed into a monstrous insect-like creature, his greatest concern is not the impossible horror of his condition, but his inability to go to work. Confined to his bedroom and increasingly cut off from the human world, Gregor watches as shock and concern within his family gradually give way to fear, resentment, and rejection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDarkly absurd, unsettling, and deeply tragic, Franz Kafka's \u003cem\u003eMetamorphosis\u003c\/em\u003e explores alienation, obligation, identity, isolation, and the fragile value society places upon a human life. As Gregor becomes less recognizably human, those around him are forced to reveal something of their own humanity-or lack of it. Haunting and strangely compassionate, this unforgettable story asks a disturbing question: when a person can no longer provide what others expect of him, how much of their love will remain?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Franz Kafka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 177356725X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781773567259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Devoted Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.12d","brand":"Franz Kafka","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50546673746175,"sku":"9781773567259","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/metamorphosis-franz-kafka-9781773567259","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
