International Fiction
by Franz Kafka
Gregor Samsa awakens to find himself transformed into a monstrous insect, setting off a nightmarish exploration of alienation and family dysfunction. As his humanity erodes and his family's horror grows, Kafka crafts a devastating allegory of isolation in modern life. This absurdist masterpiece remains a haunting meditation on identity, obligation, and what it means to be human.
