In no other work does Kafka reveal himself as in the Letters to Milena,
which begin essentially as a business correspondence but soon develop
into a passionate "letter love." Milena Jesenská was a gifted and
charismatic woman of twenty-three. Kafka's Czech translator, she was
uniquely able to recognize his complex genius and his even more complex
character. For the thirty-six-year-old Kafka, she was "a living fire,
such as I have never seen." It was to her that he revealed his most
intimate self. It was to her that, after the end of the affair, he
entrusted the safekeeping of his diaries.
Newly translated, revised, and expanded, this edition contains material previously omitted because of its extreme sensitivity. Also included for the first time are letters and essays by Milena Jesenská, herself a talented writer as well as the recipient of these documents of Kafka's love, anxiety, and despair.
