Cockroach

That morning, Jim Sams, clever but by no means profound, woke from uneasy dreams to find himself transformed into a gigantic creature.

Jim Sams has undergone a metamorphosis. In his previous life he was ignored or loathed, but in his new incarnation he is the most powerful man in Britain – and it is his mission to carry out the will of the people. Nothing must get in his way: not the opposition, nor the dissenters within his own party. Not even the rules of parliamentary democracy.

With trademark intelligence, insight and scabrous humour, Ian McEwan pays tribute to Franz Kafka’s most famous work to engage with a world turned on its head.

In acea dimineata, Jim Sams, inteligent, dar nicidecum profund, s-a trezit din vise nelinistite pentru a se gasi transformat intr-o creatura gigantica. Jim Sams a suferit o metamorfoza. In viata sa anterioara a fost ignorat sau detestat, dar in noua sa incarnare este cel mai puternic om din Marea Britanie - si este misiunea sa de a indeplini vointa oamenilor.
