Metamorphosis

by Frans Kafka, David Wyllie (translator)

In Franz Kafka's "Metamorphosis", Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman, wakes up to find himself transformed into a giant insect. Struggling to adapt to his new form, Gregor becomes isolated from his family, who are repulsed by his appearance. As Gregor's condition worsens, tensions rise within the household, ultimately leading to his tragic demise and forcing the family to confront their own lives and independence.

كنت ارى المعنى بالبداية مثير للسخرية وكيف لأنسان ان يتحول لمسخ او بالأصح لحشرة؟ لكن مع تعمقي واستمراري بالقراءة اكتشفت ان الموضوع كان ابعد وأعمق من كذا والنهاية لامستني بشكل محزن وعظيم، اول رواياتي لكافكا ولن تكون الأخيرة

من كتبي المفضلة ان ما كانت الافضل بلا شك

Uma obra angustiante, trancafiados ao um quarto pequeno, com um corpo horripilante e desprezivel, e assim é para todos a sua volta. Emoções de abandono e nojo a cerca do protagonista nos fazem sentir pena e a vontade de acolher o mesmo, com um final lacerante, joga a mente do leitor a tentar interpretar de maneiras diferentes a historia, criando analogias e fazendo-nos pensar sobre como a vida e as pessoas se tratam, e se veem.

The Metamorphosis is strange, unsettling, and surprisingly moving. Gregor Samsa’s sudden transformation into an insect is shocking, but what hits harder is how his family reacts and how isolated he becomes.

Kafka captures loneliness, alienation, and the small cruelties of everyday life in a way that’s simple but unforgettable. It’s a short read, but it leaves you thinking about identity, compassion, and what it means to truly belong

Bu kitaba iki dəfə oxumağa başlamışam, amma yalnız bu dəfə bitirə bildim, ağır gedir. Hadisələr çox gözəl təsvir edilib və həqiqətən də, o anları hiss edib yaşayırsan. Üzücü hekayədir, ailən üçün bir böcək olmaq və bir yerdən sonra "istənilməmək"

Jag diggade den, väldigt djup när man väl analyserar den.
Fuckar hur Frans beskriver allt man får verkligen en tung å sorgsen känsla när man läser den. Mycket ångest när man läste den. Man kände den. Gillar den som fan! Fick mig p bli mer intresserad av böcker!

It was super weird. I found it quite sad. I found it a bit boring. But it was pretty creative, such a random story.

Would you still love me if I was a bug?

Helt okej, bra skriven - men borde läsa om den för att recensera bättre.
