Night has fallen on Prague's St Nicholas Street. At long last, silence reigns in the home: father, mother and sisters have gone to bed. Only Franz is sitting wide awake behind his desk. Working rapidly, he begins to write down a disturbing story. Its first sentence opens a masterpiece that would go on to captivate millions of readers: "When Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a monstrous insect."
Alongside the original text from 1915, this book also includes a sequel to the "bug story". Its author, the young expres sionist writer Karl Brand, was part of Kafka's literary circle and knew him personally. A richly illustrated afterword on the writing of the story rounds off this Prague Edition of The Metamorphosis and makes it an editorial masterwork - a must for serious Kafka fans and for any one who wants to discover the Prague writer for themselves.
With an illustrated afterword by Elisa beth Fuchs und Harald Salfellner on the writing of the story and its impact.
