The Metamorphosis
Franz Kafka • 2014
The Metamorphosis is a novella by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It has been cited as one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century and is studied in colleges and universities across the Western world. The story begins with a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, waking to find himself transformed (metamorphosed) into a large, monstrous insect-like creature. The cause of Samsa's transformation is never revealed, and Kafka himself never gave an explanation. The rest of Kafka's novella deals with Gregor's attempts to adjust to his new condition as he deals with being burdensome to his parents and sister, who are repulsed by the horrible, verminous creature Gregor has become.

Animal Farm
George Orwell • 2024
"Animal Farm" by George Orwell is a classic allegorical novella depicting a farm where animals overthrow their human owner to establish a society based on equality and fairness. Led by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, the animals initially strive to create a utopian community free from human exploitation. However, power corrupts, and the pigs gradually betray the founding principles of equality, leading to oppression and inequality among the animals. Orwell's powerful critique of totalitarianism and political hypocrisy resonates through vivid characters and events, highlighting the dangers of unchecked power and the manipulation of ideology for personal gain.
