The most significant key we have for a reading of the author's novels and short stories.\" —The New York Times\n\nIn 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0805212671\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0805212671.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kafka, Franz|Boehm, Philip\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
