One morning, Gregor Samsa, a humble travelling salesman, wakes up transformed into an enormous insect. Shut in his room, he can no longer work, and his family, who depended on his wages, have to learn to live with him.
This short story, unsettling and shot through with dark humour, shows what is left of a man when his family sees him only as a burden.
Kafka writes in simple, precise sentences: an ideal text for a first read in the language you are learning.
