A harrowing -- though absurdly comic -- meditation on human feelings of inadequecy, guilt, and isolation, \"The Metamorphosis\" has taken its place as one of the mosst widely read and influential works of twentieth-century fiction. As W.H. Auden wrote, \"Kafka is important to us because his predicament is the predicament of modern man.\"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"W W Norton \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Metamorphosis (Revised) | Franz Kafka | Paperback | 9780393967975 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks C 1757740","offer_id":49178361462936,"sku":"1757740","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61pENIIvWRL.jpg?v=1780070809","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/metamorphosis-revised","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
