Metamorphosis manga book

The family of Greogor Samsa reminded me of an Indian family Anything that goes against the mainstream culture or lifestyle is received with disgust and condemnation In the end Samsa s parents are proud of the vanity that their daughter displayed which is akin to how my parents view women to be If she is a pretty figure in a family gathering behaving princess like and garnering attention from suitors she is perfect and only then brings pride to her family 80 pages I honestly don t know what to do with this What was the point of it I m used to short stories exploring a strong message or character concept or what if scenario This was a man who becomes a bug who made no efforts after the first day to find harmony with his family and they treated him like a cockroach We listen to him as the family decides where furniture should go in his room as he realizes he can climb walls and as he sinks into neglectAnd then he diedIn good news the narrator for Librivox was uite good at his role I thoughtI dunno man A lot of people have positive associations with this shame ridden bug man I guess maybe I just don t excuse him from trying to take a proactive measure So life turned you into a bug Now what Stare out windows Or be your buggy best 80 pages The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka tells the story of a man that works really hard to provide for his family but one day he wakes up into a nightmareHe has become a insect The metamorphosis takes place in a house hold with three family members Gregor the hard working sonGrete Gregors sister and his mom and dad Gregor is a hard working man that takes care of his family and he is also very tired of his boss Gregors boss makes him feel as if he is so littleOne day when Gregor wakes up he is awoken to a nightmare Gregor is a big giant insect and he doesn t know it until his family starts to treat him like one This book was a very awkward book but also sad at the same time I really enjoyed reading it because there was a great deal of imagery that made me feel like there was a big insect next to me I found myself feeling bad for Gregorwondering how it would feel to be treated so low by everyone including his own family My favorite part of the book was when Gregor was dreaming of yelling at his boss because his boss made him feel so little of himself This book was a great uick read that left me wondering why Gregor was turned into a insect and not anything else I would recommend this book to adults and young adults because of the language that is said in this book I would also recommend this book to anyone who can relate of being treated so small and think so little of them selves There was nothing inappropriate in this book But i would worn you to watch out for the language other then that its a great book 80 pages Kuper s dark shading and expressionistic tone work well for an adaptation of this bizarre tale I especially liked the subtle echo of Charlie Brown in Gregor Samsa s belly pattern an idea R Sikoryak also played on in his own Peanuts version of The Metamorphosis Even the use of different typefaces rather than hand lettering except for some of Gregor s speech balloons is effective in this tale of cold and selfish people The lodgers all being physically identical and speaking in unison is another nice touch Anyway overall lots of great visual choices here this is a genuine adaptation not just an illustrated version of the story 80 pages 35 rounded off to 4 As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect The Metamorphosis Franz KafkaThe above line clearly tells what the book is about Gregor Samsa a travelling salesman wakes up one fine morning to find he transformed into a huge insect To be very honest this was an awkward read according to me It was mostly sad and weirdBut how can you let go of such a read without deciphering an inner message So I have two explanations 1 This book talks about how the insects are treated in this world How anything they do are irritating for the human beings If you read the book you ll get a better idea of it 2 The way the person who was once the earning member of the family is now a burden for the same Now if you read the book you ll understand how Gregor in his human form was a treasure for the family whereas when he turned into an insect was suddenly a burden He was locked up in his room and was feared that if he showed up to outsiders he might frighten the latter Though I am highly against those who treat people like this but at the end of the day we all know there exist some households that practice this Thanks for reading 80 pages Acclaimed graphic artist Peter Kuper presents a brilliant darkly comic reimagining of Kafka s classic tale of family alienation and a giant bug Kuper s electric drawings which merge American cartooning with German expressionism bring Kafka s prose to vivid life reviving the original story s humor and poignancy in a way that will surprise and delight readers of Kafka and graphic novels alike A brilliant illustrated adaptation of Franz Kafka s famous story It s a real pleasure to read and one in which everyone will recognize the existential drama and uncanny wit of the original text Susan Bernstein associate professor of comparative literature and German studies Brown University The MetamorphosisOne of the amazing read of this year Defiantly want to suggest everyone to read this book 80 pages A man wakes up one day to find he has been changed into a large insect The story follows his efforts to deal with this and his family s reaction to the change But it s not just a story about a man turning into a insect it s a clever way of writing about how a family would deal with the main breadwinner in the house becoming unable to work the way a family reacts to someone who is disabled It could also be an analogy for how a family treats a member of the family who is now old and needs to be cared for The man who is now a insect is forced to live in his room shut away from the world for fear that he will frighten anyone who enters the house The man who once provided for the family and thought of them above himself has now become a burden on them as they are now short of money and have to find employment The once able and hard working man transformed into a insect is now rejected and his family blame him for their financial situation and the fact that they cannot move to a smaller house because they need to have a room to keep him in The descriptive uality of the writing is excellent and although it is a sad and gruesome tale it is also very funny in parts I couldn t help laughing out loud a couple of times 80 pages This is a great interpretation and adaptation of Kafka s Metamorphosis The humor and the horror are duking it out in that great spy vs spy way thank you Peter Kuper and sentimentality is beautifully burlesued and still there is a shifty shifting emotional resonance in there I love how reading this comic metamorphosis brings out parts of the prose I would not have weighted and makes me want to read the prose again and see what feels new One of my favorite tales about literary folk is the one where Kafka is reading the Metamorphosis aloud to Max Brod and laughing so hard he is doubled over and can barely finish Thank you Kafka for the pleasure you take in turning a poor unsuspecting salesman into a desperate cockroach and for your particular contribution in raising the sick and miserable absurdity of life to a comic art form And thank you Kuper for reminding me that high brow and low brow are often wonderfully inscrutable twins when it comes to the greatest of stories regardless of the form 80 pages As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect Surely it is one of the greatest books for Kafka But what got me interested the most are the psychological reasons that let him write such a novel I ve read some reviews of several names from writers to psychologists that were trying to understand the relationship between the father and the sun in the world of Kafka according to him to his real father Knowing that he wasn t pleased with the matter of fact that his son was completely passionated to writing I really feel curious of what is behind the obvious for this novel Because when I knew that Kafka laughed reading his novel to his friends I got surprised I felt like this book exactly has a hidden part Was he an animal that music could move him so All what I got from the book is how really difficult to live detached from your self feeling like you are not owning the body that you are carrying for your entirely life That your spiritual side isn t related with your physical side you wish things to be alright but it s not like that simple in your brain Like there is a hell buried inside your mindI really loved that book even thought the end of it broke my heart 80 pages I ve had this short classic on my list for so long yet finally got around to reading it It s one of those that I need time to sit and think about to try to figure out what it meant to me and then go read other analyses to see what the experts sayWhat I m getting out of it now from my own reading has to do with being known and appreciated for who we are rather than what s on the outside It s rather a sobering read for me to be honest Do people appreciate and love us for what we do for them or for who we are I remember being horrified when reading a book about a woman who had a stroke and was unable to communicate in any way but had full cognitive ability trapped in her body And then I read about Huntington s disease and was similarly horrified This book rouses similar feelings It makes me think of older people no longer able to contribute perhaps Are they valued for who they are or just for what they were able to contribute People with mental illness People who look different What if you used to be slender but are now trapped in a body layered with fat or you experience an accident resulting in severe scarring are you now less worthy And how does the perception of others affect how we see ourselves Gregor increasingly lost his humanity as he realized the people he had thought were his people didn t see him for who he was didn t after all appreciate or even need him had never really appreciated him in factAnd then we come to the idea that his family was perhaps going to be better off without him In some way he had enabled themhad stunted their growth Without him they had to step up and take care of themselves and actually bloomed This makes me think of parentingThis little book was so deep it makes me think I ll come back to it someday and see it completely differently Rather like Ellison s Invisible Man I have a haunting feeling that at some point I ll have a lightbulb moment and realize A ha NOW I get it
