About this title

Synopsis

Discover two of the most haunting works of modern literature in one powerful volume: The Metamorphosis and The Trial by Franz Kafka.

In The Metamorphosis, Gregor Samsa awakens one morning to find himself transformed into a monstrous insect. As he struggles with his grotesque new body and the growing alienation from his family, Kafka explores timeless themes of isolation, guilt, and the fragility of human identity.

In The Trial, Josef K. is arrested without explanation and thrown into a surreal legal nightmare. Trapped in an absurd bureaucracy with no clear charges or escape, Josef's harrowing journey exposes the dehumanizing forces of power and the futility of seeking justice in an indifferent world.

These two modernist masterpieces examine the absurdity of existence, the crushing weight of societal expectations, and the profound sense of alienation still felt in today's world. Perfect for fans of existential fiction, modern classics, and literary philosophy.

This edition is ideal for:

✅ Readers of classic literature and modernist fiction

✅ Fans of existentialist writers like Camus, Sartre, and Dostoevsky

✅ Students of Kafka's major works and 20th-century philosophy

✅ Anyone seeking a deep, thought-provoking reading experience

This edition also includes a short author biography- Franz Kafka: A Visionary for the Modern Soul, as well as a Curated Reading List.
