The most significant key we have for a reading of the author's novels and short stories.' —The New York Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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.","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53563066843474,"sku":"9780805212679","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_c981fe62-7825-41fb-96a0-fc1838df5770.jpg?v=1779689896","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/letters-to-milena","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
