Metamorphosis and Other Stories: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

The product name literally says “and Other Stories.” What was sent to me was just Metamorphosis. Honestly, if you want a quick read you should get this but if you want the whole collection, i’d look somewhere else.

The Metamorphosis is a tragic story of alienation of Gregor Samsa when he suddenly became a vile creature (typical Kafka-esque). Franz kafka was a literary hero with an unique touch of social alienation and absurdity.

A great book from a great author

Ottimo, odio il padre di Kafka

I enjoyed this and it made me laugh and cry...man wakes up to find he's turned into a giant cockroach so he calls in sick (can't argue with that really) and initially people try and find out where he is and what's happening but it's kind of tragic how his friends and family lose patience with him, like people do when they get fatigue from others illnesses I guess. That's more a reflection of us than him as a cockroach. It's a short book, you can just about finish it in one sitting like a train ride or flight. I couldn't help feeling like the book was a bit half finished.

Tam olarak kimin hatasıydı bilemem ancak önündeki ve arkasındaki köşeler biraz katlanmış ve buruşmuştu. Çok da büyütmeye gerek yok ama yine de daha dikkatli olunmasını beklerdim. Bunun dışında, esasında metamorphosis için almıştım kitabı ama içinde bir sürü başka hikayeler de var. Okumak için sabırsızlanıyorum:)
