The Metamorphosis
(eAudiobook)
Description
Title: The Metamorphosis Author: Franz Kafka Narrator: Jonathan Dunne Original Publication: 1915 Public Domain: Yes Series Placement: Number 14 in the Timeless Terrors series Description: The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka is a landmark work of early 20th-century literature, blending existential dread, psychological horror, and absurdity. First published in 1915, it tells the story of Gregor Samsa, a man who awakens one morning to discover he has been transformed into a monstrous insect. As his family grapples with his shocking metamorphosis, Gregor experiences alienation, despair, and the unraveling of his identity in a world that suddenly feels hostile and incomprehensible. This recording is narrated by Jonathan Dunne, bringing Kafka's darkly surreal vision to life. While the text is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. Listeners should prepare for a disturbing, thought-provoking tale that has influenced generations of writers and continues to challenge perceptions of humanity and isolation.
