书籍作者:卡夫卡 Franz Kafka
书籍简介: The Metamorphosis, first published in 1915, is the most famous of Kafka’s works, along with The Trial and The Castle. The story begins when a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, wakes up to find himself transformed into a giant insect. Curiously, his condition does not arouse surprise in his family, who merely despise it as an impending burden. As with all of Kafka’s works, The Metamorphosis is open to a wide range of interpretations. Most obvious are themes relating to society’s treatment of those who are different, the loneliness of isolation, and the absurdity of the human condition. Newly designed and typeset in a modern 5.5-by-8.5-inch format by Waking Lion Press. 本书是世界文学文库中的一册,收入了奥地利作家卡夫卡的作品“变形记”等中短篇小说数篇。这些作品内容丰富,构思精妙,文笔流畅,具有深刻的思想内涵,不能把它当作寻常的小说,只有仔细研读,才能领略到作者那独特的写作风格及思想内涵。
卡夫卡被誉为“现代文学的魔法师”、“20世纪最优秀的作家之一”。他的小说全部都是关于人类世界这个庞大的寓言体系的一部分,他自己也是其中的一部分。卡夫卡用简洁的文字和深刻的象征洞悉人们生活的虚无、矛盾和荒谬,剖析人性的孤独、脆弱和绝望,以不朽而精辟的真知揭示生命及其生命置身其中的世界的所有真相。
