The most significant key we have for a reading of the author's novels and short stories.\" -The New York TimesIn no other work does Franz Kafka reveal himself as in Letters to Milena, which begins as a business correspondence but soon develops into an epistolary love affair. Kafka's Czech translator, Milena Jesenská, was a gifted and charismatic twenty-three-year-old who was uniquely able to recognize Kafka's complex genius and his even more complex character. For thirty-six-year-old Kafka, she was \"a living fire, such as I have never seen.\" It was to Milena that he revealed his most intimate self and, eventually, entrusted his diaries for safekeeping.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52181647917344,"sku":"NEW0805212671","price":17.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61fSle1komL.jpg?v=1786598221","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/letters-to-milena-the-schocken-kafka-library-0805212671","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
