A soul laid bare – the intimate, tortured correspondence of one of literature’s most enigmatic voices. In Letters to Milena, Franz Kafka reveals himself not through fiction, but in raw, unsparing confession. Addressed to Milena Jesenská, a gifted journalist and translator, these letters – written between 1920 and 1923 – chronicle Kafka’s desperate yearning, fear of intimacy, and the aching vulnerability behind his solitary genius. What emerges is a poignant portrait of a man torn between desire and self-doubt, love and illness, isolation and longing. The correspondence captures Kafka’s inner world with startling honesty and poetic brilliance. Each letter is a mirror of his emotional fragility and philosophical depth, offering readers a rare window into the private torments and fleeting joys of a literary icon. A deeply human document, Letters to Milena stands as one of the most moving and revealing collections of love letters in modern literature.
