Avec La Métamorphose, Kafka signe l'une des œuvres les plus marquantes de la littérature du XXème siècle. À travers une écriture précise et épurée, il nous plonge dans l'univers angoissant de Gregor Samsa. Le récit est construit comme un lent déclin, où la réalité se délite progressivement, laissant place à l'absurde et au cauchemar. Kafka maîtrise à la perfection les ressorts de la narration, créant une atmosphère oppressante et pesante qui ne lâche pas le lecteur.
