C. Bakirtzis (catwyrm) | 1 comments Hello, I'm suggesting that the Audrey app version of Metamorphosis be added. It's listed on Storygraph, in case I'm missing any information. I don't know why it has no ISBN or if it can be uploaded here without an ISBN, but I'll post this anyways. Thank you.

Like all Audrey books there are chapter recaps, characters descriptions and insightful, informative and reflective Notes from our Guide, Simon Haisell. This edition is illustrated by Julie Ann Monks. Only available on the Audrey app - www.listenwithaudrey.com

"When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin."

With this startling, bizarre, yet surprisingly funny first sentence, Kafka begins his masterpiece, The Metamorphosis. It is the story of a young man who, transformed overnight into a giant beetlelike insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. A harrowing--though absurdly comic--meditation on human feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation, The Metamorphosis has taken its place as one of the most widely read and influential works of twentieth-century fiction.

As W.H. Auden wrote, "Kafka is important to us because his predicament is the predicament of modern man."
