The Metamorphosis = Die Verwandlung

This collection presents two outstanding works by the German writer Franz Kafka – "The Metamorphosis" and "Letter to His Father". "The Metamorphosis" is a novella about Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman, for whom an ordinary morning turns into a nightmare that changes his usual life forever. How will the physical changes of the main character affect his relationships with family and his psychological state? How will the world perceive his new "self"? "Letter to His Father" is a deeply personal, candid text in which Kafka describes his complicated relationship with his father. These letters represent an attempt to understand his feelings and explore how his relationship with his father influenced his personal and professional life. Can words on paper help overcome personal tragedies and find understanding? The texts of the works are adapted for those continuing to study German at the intermediate level (levels B1-B2 – Oberstufe) and are accompanied by comments. After the stories, exercises with keys are provided. At the end of the book is a vocabulary dictionary to facilitate reading.
