Franz Kafka the author has very nicely narrated the story of Gregou Samsa who wakes up one day to discover that he has metamorphosed into a bug.<br>The book concerns itself with the themes of alienation and existentialism.<br>The author has written many important stories including ‘The Judgement’ and much of his novels ‘Amerika’ ‘The Castle’ ‘The Hunger Artist’.<br>Many of his stories were published during his lifetime but many were not.<br> Over the course of the 1920s and 30s Kafka’s works were published and translated instantly becoming landmarks of twentieth-century literature.<br>Ironically the story ends on an optimistic note as the family puts itself back together.<br>The style of the book epitomizes Kafka’s writing.<br>Kafka very interestingly used to present an impossible situation such as a man’s transformation into an insect and develop the story from there with perfect realism and intense attention to detail.<br>The Metamorphosis is an autobiographical piece of writing and we find that parts of the story reflect Kafka’s own life.
