About this book
Gregor Samsa hates his job. He works himself to exhaustion as a traveling salesman to support a family that takes him for granted. One morning, his whole life changes. He wakes up to discover that he has turned into a giant insect. As he and his family come to grips with the fantastical event, The Metamorphosis explores themes of alienation, family loyalty, and unconditional love.
