One of the most intimate and revealing works in all of literature — Franz Kafka's letters to the woman who understood him like no other.
What begins as a business correspondence between Kafka and his Czech translator, Milena Jesenská, soon blossoms into an extraordinary epistolary love affair. Milena — gifted, charismatic and just twenty-three — was uniquely able to grasp both Kafka's complex genius and his even more complex character. To her, the thirty-six-year-old writer revealed his most intimate self, and eventually entrusted his diaries for safekeeping; to him, she was "a living fire, such as I have never seen."
Tender, anguished and luminous, Letters to Milena offers an unguarded portrait of one of the twentieth century's greatest writers, and of a love conducted almost entirely on the page.
Essential reading for lovers of Kafka and literary correspondence.
