Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka - Translated by David Wyllie - The Metamorphosis is a novella by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It has been called one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century and is studied in colleges and universities across the Western world. One day, Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman, wakes up to find himself transformed into a giant insect (the most common translation of the German description ungeheures Ungeziefer, literally "monstrous vermin"). He reflects on how dreary life as a traveling salesman is. As he looks at the wall clock, he notices that he has overslept and missed his train for work. He ponders the consequences of this delay. Gregor becomes annoyed at how his boss never accepts excuses or explanations from any of his employees no matter how hard-working they are, displaying an apparent lack of trusting abilities. Gregor's mother knocks on the door, and he answers her. She is concerned for Gregor because he is late for work, which is unorthodox for him. Gregor answers his mother and realizes that his voice has changed, but his answer is short, so his mother does not notice. His sister, Grete, to whom he is very close, then whispers through the door and begs him to open it. He tries to get out of bed but is incapable of moving his body. While trying to move, he finds that his office manager, the chief clerk, has shown up to check on him. He finally rocks his body to the floor and calls out that he will open the door shortly.

Los Alamos

After the carnage of World War Two, a murder in the desert of New Mexico seems barely significant. The result of a drunken brawl, perhaps. Or a crime of passion. Even a simple robbery gone too far, not important in the year that will see the end of the devastating global conflIct. But for the people 'on the Hill' at Los Alamos, the unsolved killing of Karl Bruner is a catastrophe. For Karl shouldered some of the responsibility for the security of their 'project', was privy to information about the 'gadget'. so if his murder had anything to do with his work, then it could mean that the best-kept secret in history had been leaked. For the project is the Manhattan Project, and the gadget is the Atom Bomb. Michael Connolly is sent to Los Alamos to investigate the death. A civilian and an ex-reporter, he is renowned for sniffing out a story and for being discreet. But in a community that doesn't officially exist, discretion and secrecy are second nature to everyone. Secrets abound and the scientists, their wives and the soldiers are being watched-as are the watchers themselves. For Connolly, it means stepping into a twilight world where reality- and morality- has become distorted, when breaking the frontiers of science is more important than finding the truth. He knew the investigation would be dangerous, but he didn't know that the cold War had already started, and that he will develop a secret, passionate life with another man's wife. An espionage novel of unique sensibilities, Los Alamos is also, like the invention at its core, about fusion. fusing together fact and fiction, loyalty and betrayal, idealism and guilt, love and hate, it heralds the arrival of a remarkable new voice in fiction.
