Metamorphosis

Viac o knihe

It is one of the most famous first sentences in world literature: "When Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from restless dreams, he found himself transformed into a monstrous vermin in his bed. He lay on his armor-like hard back and, lifting his head a little, saw his bulging, brown belly, divided by arched stiffeners, at the height of which the bedspread, ready to slide down completely, could barely maintain itself. His many legs, pitifully thin compared to his other girth, flickered helplessly before his eyes." Kafka's work belongs today to the inalienable core stock of world literature.
