The Metamorphosis

No wonder Elias Canetti described it as "one of the few great and perfect works of the poetic imagination written". The Metamorphosis remains one of the best works of fiction in history.

It is the story of a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, who wakes up to find himself being transformed to an insect-like creature and the story unfolds into one of the greatest short fiction stories ever written.
