Signature Gilded Classics line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly yesterday, Gregor Samsa was a meek salesman, browbeaten by his unappreciative employer and depended on fiercely by his ungrateful family. This morning, Gregor awakens to discover that, overnight, he has been transformed into a monstrous insect. First published in 1915, Kafka’s best-known tale has inspired numerous interpretations for more than a century and helped to establish the term “Kafkaesque” as a reference to a bizarre and nightmarish experience. This collection of his short fiction, in a new translation, includes more than thirty of his short stories and sketches, including “In the Penal Colony,” “The Stoker,” “The Judgment,” “A Country Doctor,” “A Hunger Artist,” and more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Union Square \u0026 Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47692984746155,"sku":"9781454966005","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/3732\/9579\/files\/9781454966005.jpg?v=1787712160","url":"https:\/\/notjustbooks.com.au\/products\/the-metamorphosis-other-stories-signature-gilded-editions","provider":"Not Just Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
