This edition accompanies OXFORD READS KAFKA, an initiative which aims to encourage the whole university and the City of Oxford to read and enjoy The Metamorphosis in 2024, the centenary of Franz Kafka's death. The Metamorphosis (German: Die Verwandlung) is a novella by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It is often cited as one of the seminal works of short fiction of the 20th century and is widely studied in colleges and universities across the western world. The story of Gregor Samsa, a young man who, after transforming overnight into a giant, beetle-like insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, and a quintessentially alienated man.
