Nell'autunno del 1912, a Praga, tra 17 novembre e il 7 dicembre, Franz Kafka scrisse 'La metamorfosi', l'incubo sotterraneo e letterale di Gregor Samsa, un commesso viaggiatore che si sveglia un mattino dopo sogni agitati e si ritrova mutato in un enorme insetto. La speranza di recuperare la condizione perduta, i tentativi di adattarsi al nuovo stato, i comportamenti familiari e sociali, l'oppressione della situazione, lo svanire del tempo sono gli ingredienti con i quali l'autore elabora la trama dell'uomo contemporaneo, un essere condannato al silenzio, alla solitudine e all'insignificanza. Con uno scritto di Pietro Citati.

Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love - and its threatened loss - the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.
