2"One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armor-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked."Thus begins Franz Kafka's seminal work of dark fiction. When Gregor Samsa wakes one morning to find himself transformed into an insect, he begins to retreat from his former life. While forced to watch these changes, he begins to feel his family slipping ever further away.This Tl;dr Edition contains part-by-part summaries and original illustrations, making it perfect for classroom or collegiate study.
