ある朝夢から目覚めると、毒虫になっていた。突然虫になってしまった男と、その家族の生活という日常。あまりにも非日常的な出来事には、説明も何もない。ただ、【突然虫になってしまった】事実があるのみである。 「この子は虫じゃない。私達の家族だもの。」 そんなこと、現実では有り得ない。目の前に居るのは、どう見ても毒虫である。ただ、それだけ。家族を養えず、母親を気絶させ、下宿人を追い出そうとする、そんな虫が、家族である訳がない――。20世紀を代表する不条理小説として、現代でも必読書に挙げられることの多いカフカの「変身」。本作では実力派の朗読家が、非日常の日常を、淡々と冷ややかに読み上げる。人間のエゴや弱さを鋭く突く、問題作。

Die Hörbuchbox „Was uns begleitet" aus der „Bibliothek Europa" präsentiert Meisterwerke der Literatur und Philosophie in großer Vielfalt der Genres, Themen und Epochen. Franz Werfel gelang 1924 mit seinem Komponisten-Roman „Verdi" ein gleichermaßen spannendes wie profundes Werk über kreative Originalität, menschliche Größe und den Kampf um ein Leben im Einklang mit sich selbst. „Macbeth" ist wohl das geradlinigste Stück von William Shakespeare: Ein Mann ohne Skrupel mordet sich zum grausamen Titel: absolute Herrschaft, absolute Macht – ein Drama von zeitloser Brisanz.

Brought to you by Penguin. A collection of Kafka's greatest short fiction, translated by Michael Hofmann Kafka's masterpiece of unease and black humour, Metamorphosis, the story of an ordinary man transformed into an insect, is brought together in this collection with the rest of his works that...

A land-surveyor, known only as K., arrives at a small village permanently covered in snow and dominated by a castle to which access seems permanently denied.

The Metamorphosis is a story about a man who wakes up transformed into a bug and the repercussions it has on his life and the people around him. What does it all mean? It is most probably an autobiography of how Kafka himself experienced early life living with his parents. Kafka describes how he endured his mother and father's financial and emotional exploitations, to the point of detaching from them and thereby ceasing to be their son (the real metamorphosis).

Franz Kafka was one of the first and greatest masters of dystopian literature. In his bleak world view, man is presented as helpless and ineffectual, his destiny determined by distant, obscure and essentially unfriendly agencies. In none of his works is this savage and unreasoning enslavement presented more vividly than in Metamorphosis, a novella in which Gregor Samsa, a respectable employee and dutiful son, wakes to find himself transformed into a gigantic insect.

New translation of The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. Poor Gregor Samsa! This guy wakes up one morning to discover that he's become a "monstrous vermin". The first pages of The Metamorphosis where Gregor tries to communicate through the bedroom door with his family, who think he's merely being lazy, is vintage screwball comedy. Indeed, scholars and readers alike have delighted in Kafka's gallows humor and matter-of-fact handling of the absurd and the terrifying.

The Trial tells the story of a man arrested for an unknown crime by a remote, inaccessible authority and his struggle for control over the increasing absurdity of his life. One of Franz Kafka's best-known works, The Trial has been variously interpreted as an examination of political power, a satirical depiction of bureaucracy, and a pessimistic religious parable. Left unfinished at the time of Kafka's 1924 death, The Trial is nevertheless a trenchant depiction of the seemingly incomprehensible nature of existence....

The Metamorphosis is one of the most commonly referenced books when you talk about absurd literature. It is heralded as a masterpiece of the existential literature genre because of how it demands the reader to accept the absurdity of the world just as it is. Although some of the events of the story are fantastical in nature, the ideas it conveys about existence, the meaning of life, and humanity are relatable to us in the real world, too.
