Μίνωας η Μεταμόρφωση και Άλλες Ιστορίες

Traveling salesman Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning to find that he has transformed into a giant bug. His initial astonishment is followed by torment, an all-too-real nightmare, experienced without illuminating the generative cause. His parents are initially surprised, but quickly realize the situation and accept it. They are silent, suffer, tolerate and withdraw into their private, enclosed microcosm. Franz Kafka's most famous short story is a parable full of symbolism. Also included in this edition are:  The Crisis, Kafka's first complete short story, written in just eight hours one night in September 1912.  The Penal Colony, a place of punishment and absolute horror, where Evil rules, written in October 1914.  A Country Doctor, one of his most enigmatic and mysterious works, one of the few that Kafka managed to see published in his lifetime. Four classic short stories that capture in the most authentic way the writing skill and unparalleled creative thinking of the leading writer of the 20th century. At the same time, they introduce the reader to the Kafkaian universe of an open world that breathes an atmosphere of existential anguish, suffocating impasses and inescapable fate.
