En savoir plus sur le livre

The story explores the surreal transformation of Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman who wakes up as a monstrous insect. Instead of focusing on his shocking new reality, Gregor's primary concern is his job and the financial stability of his family, including his parents and sister, Greta. This unique perspective highlights themes of alienation, responsibility, and the human condition, making it a profound reflection on societal expectations and personal identity. Kafka's work is celebrated for its rich poetic imagination and deep philosophical insights.
