Tommaso Percivale

Mini Classics. The Metamorphosis

Classics

One of the most beloved classics in a simpler and shorter version.

One morning, Gregor wakes up and finds he’s turned into… a bug. No one understands. No one accepts. His family shuts him away in a room, far from everything. But behind that closed door, Gregor keeps thinking, watching, hoping. Sometimes, it’s not your body that changes everything—but how others look at you. A moving, thoughtful tale about feeling different, being a son, a brother, a person.

  • A powerful literary classic carefully adapted for young readers, retaining its symbolic depth.
  • Part of the Mini Classics series: pocket-sized, illustrated, and designed for early independent reading.

Author
Tommaso Percivale

Born in Ovada in 1977, Tommaso Percivale is an author of children's books. He lives and writes on an isolated hilltop surrounded by rocks, wind, woods and roe deer. Passionate about stories, sleight of hand, comics and games, he is a curious writer and, as such, tackles various genres, ranging from historical fiction to science fiction, from adventures to thrillers, even touching on the field of non-fiction. He writes to excite and stimulate deep reflections of an ethical, philosophical and social nature. Freedom, courage and rebellion are the themes he holds most dear.
