一觉醒来，发现自己成了一只人人厌恶的丑陋怪虫；

就让我澈底遗忘，如何当一个人……

一天早上，从不愉快的梦中醒来，发现自己变成一只大虫。身为推销员的他，背负全家人生活的重担，厌恶自己、工作与家庭，永远找不到出口。灵魂被现实扭曲、压迫，最终使自我变形成虫，反扑冲破现实。

卡夫卡的作品是无国界的，只要一个社会不停往前迈进、一个人逐渐成长，那么迟早会与卡夫卡相遇。处在现代社会中的你我，就如同卡夫卡与他笔下的人物，在高度工业化、群体社会中，人的灵魂被物质束缚，个体在群体中渐感孤立无援与疏离，在孤寂与焦虑感的重压下，不停寻找出口。

When the young salesman Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning transformed into a monstrous insect, his shock and incomprehension are coupled with the panic of being late for work and having to reveal his appearance to family and colleagues. Although over the following weeks he gradually becomes used to this new existence confined within the bounds of the apartment, and his parents and sister adapt to living with a grotesque bug, Gregor notices that their attitudes towards him are changing and he feels increasingly alienated.

One of the masterpieces of twentieth-century world literature, 'The Metamorphosis' is accompanied in this volume by a selection of other classic tales and sketches by Kafka - such as 'The Judgement', 'In the Penal Colony' and 'A Country Doctor' - all presented in a lively and meticulous new translation by Christopher Moncrieff.

法兰兹.卡夫卡（Franz Kafka,1883~1924）

二十世纪最伟大的捷克文学家，被誉为现代主义文学先驱。

卡夫卡无疑是那种心灵上最敏感纤细的天才，身处动盪不安的时代，作品大多描述寻求个人存在价值、文化认同与家族差异中的荒谬与矛盾。代表着作有《变形记》、《饥饿艺术家》、《巢穴》、《美国》、《蜕变》、《审判》以及《城堡》等作品。

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was one of the giants of 20th century German literature. His stories, such as The Metamorphosis (1915), and novels, including The Trial (1925) and The Castle (1926), concern troubled individuals in a nightmarishly impersonal and bureaucratic world. His writing is some of the most influential in Western culture, although much of it is incomplete, and was only published posthumously.
