BIS - A Metamorfose

by Franz Kafka

Overview

«Certa manhã, ao acordar após sonhos agitados, Gregor Samsa viu-se na sua cama, metamorfoseado num monstruoso insecto.» É assim que começa A Metamorfose, uma das mais emblemáticas obras de Franz Kafka. Nesta narrativa, o autor recorre à terrível metamorfose física e ao desespero da personagem para abordar os temas transversais a toda a sua obra: o comportamento humano, a impotência perante o absurdo e a frustração provocada por uma sociedade opressora e burocrática.

About the Author

Franz Kafka was born in 1883 in Prague, where he lived most of his life. During his lifetime, he published only a few short stories, including "The Metamorphosis", "The Judgement", and "The Stoker". He died in 1924, before completing any of his full-length novels. At the end of his life, Kafka asked his lifelong friend and literary executor Max Brod to burn all his unpublished work. Brod overrode those wishes.
