The correspondence between Franz Kafka and Milena Jesenská began in 1920, when she was translating his first short stories into Czech. Their professional relationship soon transformed into a passionate love affair that lasted until 1923.
The young Czech translator admired him and recognized his genius long before most people in their environment. He entrusted her with his diaries, exposing his heart and conscience before her.
These letters hold a special place in Kafka's rich correspondence. They are precise in their wording and flawless in their symbolism. Filled with human greatness but also weakness, passion but also cowardice, they testify to a striking love story that essentially remained a relationship through correspondence.
