In Franz Kafka's most celebrated novel about the alienation one can feel in everyday life, young traveling salesman Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning to find that he has transformed into a repulsive insect. His parents and sister are terrified, not only of the oversized creature but also of their own fates, because Gregor had been paying off his father's debt and providing money for them to live off of. They are forced to find jobs, and as they adjust to their new life and transformed cohabitant, their treatment of Gregor varies, from attempting to feed him to running away from him to ignoring him entirely. Written in 1912, "The Metamorphosis "has remained one of the great works of modern literature due to its unique premise and biting insights into family life. "En la novela mas celebre de Franz Kafka sobre la alienacion que se puede sentir en la vida diaria, el joven viajante de comercio Gregor Samsa despierta una manana convertido en un repulsivo insecto. Sus padres y su hermana estan aterrorizados, no solo por la criatura de gran tamano pero tambien por sus propios destinos, porque Gregor habia estado pagando las deudas de su padre y proporcionando dinero para que pudieran vivir. Se ven sin mas remedio que encontrar trabajo, y mientras se adaptan a una vida nueva y su transformado conviviente, su tratamiento de Gregor varia, desde tratar de darle de comer hasta huir de el y no hacerle ningun caso. Escrito en 1912, "La transformacion "ha sido uno de los grandes trabajos de la literatura moderna debido a su premisa unica y sus mordaces peripecias de la vida familiar."
