The German one.

That's the one I wouldn't recommend. Kafka wrote to his publisher that the insect thing shouldn't be stated directly. So Lloyd or Crick or I think whoever did the Metamorphosis and other stories one.

Beyond that they're all equally as bad since Kafka translates badly.

>Kafka wrote to his publisher that the insect thing shouldn't be stated directly.
"One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself
transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin"

it's a translation by David Wyllie and seems decent enough.

I purposely avoided any translation refering to him as a cockroach though I'm aware that Kafka translates badly but I have no plans of learning german yet.

I want to fuck that cockroach.
