La Metamorfosis

Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka´s The Metamorposis is a literary classis that illustrates the evolution of personality. The novel is about Gregor Samsa, who one day wakes up as a beetle.

The eye motif on the cover consists of 3 layers, as the the story is also divided into 3 parts. This motif is related to awakening and the realising. The layout is asymmetric, we can find the page numbers on the left page. The number of the chapter has got fixed place.

The text moves upwards, just like a beetle climbs on the wall. From the bottom up, as Samsa moves away from the Earth, from tehe human being.
