En La metamorfosis, la transformación del desdichado Gregorio Samsa, se ocultan las más diversas obsesiones, angustias y temores del hombre contemporáneo. En la figura del enorme insecto, encarna el viejo orden que Kafka rechazó toda su vida: la hipocresía, el abuso, la opresión. Por su parte, Carta al padre, que Kafka escribe cuatro años después a La metamorfosis y cinco antes de su muerte, es un documento literario y autobiográfico que revela la intimidad de Kafka sin parábolas ni metáforas. Un testimonio desgarrador de excepcional belleza artística, que jamás pudo ser leído por su destinatario: el padre de Franz.
