About This Novel
Kafka's five masterpieces of short and medium-sized novels will help you see the true face of human nature. "The Metamorphosis" (novella): One morning, Gregor woke up and found that he had turned into a giant insect. His superiors came to his home to urge him to go to work, but ran away when they saw his appearance. The mother was so frightened that she fainted and the father clenched his fists with hostility. Only the sister dared to take care of him... The family's life was turned upside down. "The Hungry Artist" (short story collection): Kafka's only collection of self-selected stories during his lifetime. Most of the protagonists in the story are artists: a trapeze artist who hangs alone on a hanging bar day and night, a starving artist in a cage, a female singer who has an enthusiastic audience but is not understood... They are extremely lonely artists, and they are also you and me who are unwilling to be mediocre.
