Penguin Select Classics: Metamorphosis:

Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka tells the unsettling story of Gregor Samsa, who wakes one morning to find himself transformed into a monstrous insect. As his family recoils in horror, Gregor struggles to hold onto his humanity in a body no one can accept. Kafka's sharp and darkly humorous prose explores alienation, identity, and society's shallow judgments. This Penguin Select Classics edition presents one of modern literature's most powerful explorations of what it means to be truly seen.
