The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka ($11.88)

Translated, edited, and with an Introduction by Stanley Corngold
Featuring essays by Philip Roth, W. H Auden, and Walter Benjamin

“When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin.” With this startling, bizarre, yet surprisingly funny first sentence, Franz Kafka begins his masterpiece, The Metamorphosis. It is the story of a young man who, transformed overnight into a giant beetlelike insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. A harrowing—though absurdly comic—meditation on human feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation, The Metamorphosis has taken its place as one of the most widely read and influential works of twentieth-century fiction.

This Modern Library edition collects Stanley Corngold’s acclaimed English translation—long hailed as the gold standard by scholars and general readers alike—along with seven critical essays by writers including Philip Roth, W. H. Auden, and Walter Benjamin, background and contextual material, and a new Introduction from Corngold himself.

Featured at the back of the book are some essential information you need to know about the book, and its translators.

The Metamorphosis is really a unique read. The story is very engaging since it uses a simpler vocabulary in the translation.

The story is about a young man who experiences an inexplicable physical transformation.

Like any other book, this part of the booklet features the table of contents which lists all the chapters, sections, and their corresponding pages.

Kafka fan or not, this story is a must-read!

Culture Carton is a well-curated subscription that caters to the modern and cultured man. They never fail to come up with classic themes and items that are very useful for men’s grooming and well being. This month’s box features a beautiful wallet, card holder, and soap. As usual, the featured book this month is interesting too. I’m looking forward to more great reads from this subscription, as well as top quality items that I can use every day!
