{"product_id":"9781454959021","title":"The Metamorphosis and Other Stories","description":"Franz Kafka's bizarrely comedic meditation on human feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation expressed through the story of a man who is transformed overnight into a giant beetle, now repackaged with a beautifully designed jacket by noted illustrator Malika Favre. \n \n \n \n Only yesterday, Gregor Samsa was a meek salesman, browbeaten by his unappreciative employer and depended on fiercely by his ungrateful family. This morning, Gregor awakens to discover that, overnight, he has been transformed into a monstrous insect. First published in 1915, Kafka's best-known tale has inspired numerous interpretations for more than a century and helped to establish the term \"Kafkaesque\" as a reference to a bizarre and nightmarish experience. This collection of his short fiction, in a new translation, includes more than thirty of his short stories and sketches, including \"In the Penal Colony,\" \"The Stoker,\" \"The Judgment,\" \"A Country Doctor,\" \"A Hunger Artist,\" and more.","brand":"JONATHAN BALL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66750429626483,"sku":"9781454959021","price":328.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/files\/242473482706.jpg?v=1790749747","url":"https:\/\/www.readerswarehouse.shop\/products\/9781454959021","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
