Metamorphosis

by David Farr (Adaptor), Gisli orn Gardarsson (Adaptor), Franz Kafka (Creator)

Here is Franz Kafka’s terrifying but bizarrely comic story in a theatrically explosive new version. The ordinary, unremarkable life of the Samsas is turned into a six-legged nightmare when their son Gregor emerges one morning transformed into a monstrous insect. As revulsion turns to resentment, strange things start to happen to the Samsa family.

[Shakiba Davari · Rating 5 out of 5]

In short, Metamorphosis is a Must_read. It was the first Kafka's book I have read and I truly Loved it. I would definitely read it again in a few years and is one of the books that I suggest to my friends.
