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.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Franz Kafka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Schocken Books Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\/3\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.9\" H x 5.2\" L x 0.9\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780805212679\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50576256237872,"sku":"9780805212679","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9780805212679_06fe2bda-467e-4b1f-b78c-d5f6cf305924.jpg?v=1775167644","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/letters-to-milena-franz-kafka-paperback","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
