About this listen

Franz Kafka’s haunting novella, The Metamorphosis, tells the disturbing tale of Gregor Samsa, a young man who awakens one morning to find himself transformed into a monstrous insect. As Gregor grapples with his shocking new reality, his once-loving family begins to recoil, viewing him as an outcast and burden. Through Kafka’s unsettling lens, this story explores themes of isolation, identity, and the fragility of human connections, as Gregor’s physical change mirrors his growing alienation from society.

Narrated by Phillip Nathaniel Freeman, this audiobook captures the bleak yet poignant atmosphere of Kafka’s masterpiece. Freeman’s voice brings depth to Gregor’s internal struggle and illuminates the novella’s emotional nuances, drawing listeners into a world where the boundaries between humanity and monstrosity blur. His narration provides an engaging and thought-provoking experience, amplifying the timeless questions Kafka raises about existence and empathy.

Perfect for listeners who appreciate psychological horror and classic literature, The Metamorphosis invites audiences to reflect on society’s reaction to the unfamiliar and the profound effects of transformation and rejection. This audiobook offers an immersive journey into one of literature’s most iconic tales of existential dread and self-discovery.
