FRANZ KAFKA (1883–1924), one of the major fiction writers of the twentieth century, was born to a middle-class German-speaking Jewish family in Prague. His unique body of writing, much of which is incomplete and was mainly published posthumously, is considered by some people to be among the most influential in Western literature, inspiring such writers as Albert Camus, Rex Warner, and Samuel Beckett.
The Metamorphosis. It is the story of a young traveling salesman who, transformed overnight into a giant, beetle-like insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. Rather than being surprised at the transformation, the members of his family despise it as an impending burden upon themselves.

A harrowing - though absurdly comic - meditation on human feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation, The Metamorphosis has taken its place as one of the most widely read and influential works of 20th-century fiction. As W. H. Auden wrote, “Kafka is important to us because his predicament is the predicament of modern man.”

Concerning Torrent:
This pack contains Kafka’s The Metamorphsis read by Ralph Cosham based on the translation by Ian Johnston. This also contains 4 different translations of the same book (names below) in PDF/Epub format with various editorial notes, remarks, and criticism (advised to read to understand Kafka’s style of writing).

Note 1:
Concerning translations, The 4 translations of books in English are as follows; by Ian Johnston Translation, Public Domain 1999, Corngold - Norton Critical Edition 1996, By Corngold - Batnam Edition 1986, and By Susan Bernofsky - Nortan Edition 2014.

In final words, I tried making Epub book based on Ian Johnston’s translation as it’s public and I’m a complete noob at it. However, there is a PDF counterpart of the same as always if EPUB doesn’t work. I hope you guys enjoy this read.
