The Metamorphosis 
|
  |
 | Gregor Samsa wakes up one day to discover he had turned into a big bug. This book is telling the events starting with this unlucky event until his death.
In this book, Kafka is using the idea of turning into an insect to show what will happen to a person if he stops being his usual self. Whether such a change is voluntary or involuntary, it is usually not well recieved by other people. However in this book, Kafka, with his usual pesimistic mode, telling this idea from a very striking mode. |
The Trial 
|
|
 | Two guys knock the door and tell our hero, Mr. K., there are charges pressed aginst him and he should attend a trial and defend himself.
However, this trial is not an ordinary one, the charges are not obvious and the interrogations, the courtroom and the trial is somewhat extraordinary. An interesting example of Kafka's style. A dark and depressive book with an incredible style so that you cannot put aside. At the end, you will end up wondering the meanings of the symbols. My best guess for the meaning of "the Trial" is the life, viewed from a pessimistic point of view by Kafka.
