Als Gregor Samsa eines Morgens aus unruhigen Träumen erwachte, fand er sich in seinem Bett zu einem ungeheuren Ungeziefer verwandelt. Er lag auf seinem panzerartig harten Rücken und sah, wenn er den Kopf ein wenig hob, seinen gewölbten, braunen, von bogenförmigen Versteifungen geteilten Bauch, auf dessen Höhe sich die Bettdecke, zum gänzlichen Niedergleiten bereit, kaum noch erhalten konnte. Seine vielen, im Vergleich zu seinem sonstigen Umfang kläglich dünnen Beine flimmerten ihm hilflos vor den Augen.
Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka was a Czech-born writer known for his surreal and existential works that explored themes of alienation, bureaucracy, and the human experience. His most notable works include "The Metamorphosis," "The Trial," and "The Castle." Kafka's writing style is characterized by its minimalist and precise language, as well as its dark and absurdist themes. His works have had a significant impact on the literary genre of existentialism and have been widely studied and interpreted by scholars and readers alike. "The Metamorphosis," in which a man wakes up to find himself transformed into a giant insect, is considered Kafka's most famous work and a classic of 20th-century literature. Kafka's unique perspective and exploration of the complexities of the human condition continue to resonate with readers around the world.
