{"product_id":"变形记-9787540245849","title":"The Metamorphosis","description":"\"This book is one of six volumes in the \"Designer Collaboration Series - K Classics.\" *The Metamorphosis* is Kafka's famous novella, completed in 1912 and published in 1915. \u003cbr\u003eThe protagonist, Gregor, is a traveling salesman for a company and the sole financial support for his family. One morning, Gregor wakes up to find himself transformed into a beetle. From then on, he not only loses his ability to live and work but is also seen as a burden and a scandal by his family. His parents and sister's attitudes suddenly reverse, from respect to disgust, revealing indifferent faces. Finally, Gregor dies alone from starvation. \"\u003cbr\u003eEditor's Recommendation:\u003cbr\u003e★ The \"K Classics\" series includes all of Kafka's short and medium-length works published during his lifetime. It also includes 6 unpublished posthumous works by Kafka, Kafka's will, and a chronology of Kafka's life.\u003cbr\u003e★ Eight works are exclusive to the Tong Yali translation, three of which are short posthumous works making their debut in simplified Chinese.\u003cbr\u003e★ Peter Mendelsund, a world-leading book designer, crafted the cover design, creating \"artworks within a book.\" His designs have been described by *The Wall Street Journal* as \"the most recognizable and representative designs among contemporary novel covers.\" \"K Classics\" breaks away from the traditionally heavy and simple Kafka book designs, offering a cutting-edge feel; abstract graphics and vibrant colors breathe new life into Kafka's works.\u003cbr\u003e★ Direct translation from German, single translator. Compared to the common compiled and translated editions on the market, the \"K Classics\" series has a more unified linguistic style; direct translation from German purely restores the essence of Kafka's works.","brand":"北京燕山出版社","offers":[{"title":"简体中文\/Simplified Chinese \/ 精装\/Hardcover","offer_id":47885657604335,"sku":"9787540245849","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/s33774031.jpg?v=1772879605","url":"https:\/\/unboundsf.co\/en\/products\/%e5%8f%98%e5%bd%a2%e8%ae%b0-9787540245849","provider":"格外 Unbound 书店","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
