About this Event
Description: First published in 1915, The Metamorphosis is Franz Kafka's most renowned work, alongside The Trial and The Castle. The novella begins with Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman, awakening to find himself inexplicably transformed into a gigantic insect. Rather than expressing shock or concern, his family views this bizarre change as a burden, revealing a profound commentary on human relationships and societal expectations. Rich with layered meanings, The Metamorphosis explores themes of alienation, the struggle for acceptance, and the absurdity of existence, inviting readers to reflect on the nature of empathy and the human experience.
