Books like Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka


The Metamorphosis, first published in 1915, is the most famous of Kafka's works, along with The Trial and The Castle. The story begins when a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, wakes up to find himself transformed into a giant insect. Curiously, his condition does not arouse surprise in his family, who merely despise it as an impending burden. As with all of Kafka's works, The Metamorphosis is open to a wide range of interpretations. Most obvious are themes relating to society's treatment of those who are different, the loneliness of isolation, and the absurdity of the human condition.

 by Jude Deveraux

"Ford Newcombe loved his wife, Pat, more than anyone - and anything - in the world. She came into his life when he was just a college student with big dreams of becoming a published author. With love and humour, she guided him down the path to success. Since Pat's death six years ago, Ford has lived a life of solitude, barely able to put pen to paper. Finally, inspiration comes in the guise of Jackie Maxwell, a smart, sassy university researcher. It's her intimate knowledge of the story of a young woman's friendship with the devil - and what the townspeople did to her - that persuades Ford to hire Jackie as his assistant and to move to Cole Creek, North Carolina, where the story is said to have taken place."--Publisher description.
