The Metamorphosis Audiobook (Free)

“When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning hours from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin.” With this startling, bizarre, yet surprisingly funny first sentence, Franz Kafka starts his masterpiece, The Metamorphosis. It’s the tale of a man who, changed overnight into a large beetlelike insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family members, an outsider in his own house, a quintessentially alienated guy. A harrowing—though absurdly comic—meditation on human feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation, The Metamorphosis provides taken its place among the most widely read and influential works of twentieth-century fiction.
