Briefe an Milena

Letters to Milena

An absolute shame that we do not have Milena's letters to Kafka (that is, the originals). I know it is me - I have been in a bit of a weird headspace - but without them, the compilation read a little creepy. I know she kept the letters and gave them for publishing, I know her marriage was unhappy, etc. etc. - and yet!

Philip Boehm

A new translation of Kafka's letters to his Czech translator, Milena Jesenska, includes materials previously unpublished as well as some of her letters and essays

I feel like Kafka wrote these letters at his most tender and tormented—like he’s in love, on the verge of a breakdown, or both—no in-between. 

Rien

now i really wish we could get Milena’s side of the story.

Acho que poucas leituras na minha vida serão tão prazeirosas e dolorosas na minha vida, nunca havia experimentado sentimento tão agridoce a me identificar nas paginas de um livro.

Franz Kafka's Letters to Milena are an opportunity to understand the author behind some well known works. He has a rather romantic, philosophical way of writing. The greatest surprise was the ending, which provided some of Milena's works. Her essay on marriage contains a modern, unconventional view of this subject for its time. It was a pleasure to read this book.
