La Metamorfosi

The story follows Gregor Samsa, a hardworking traveling salesman who wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a monstrous insect. Instead of focusing on the cause of this impossible transformation, the narrative explores the psychological and social consequences for Gregor and his family. As his physical presence becomes a burden and a source of shame for his parents and sister, the domestic space turns into a prison. The book is a profound exploration of human alienation, the guilt of being unproductive in a modern society, and the fragility of family bonds when faced with the inexplicable.
