The world knows Milena Jesenská as one of Kafka’s great loves. They possibly met for the first time at a coffeehouse in Prague through Milena’s first husband, Ernst Polak. It was because she wanted to translate Kafka’s writings to Czech that she wrote to him several times after that. The correspondence turned into a rather passionate one and Letters to Milena is now testament to a connection between two deeply troubled individuals whose love was defined by its depth rather than its duration.This complete and unabridged edition is edited by Willy Haas and translated from the original by Tania and James Stern.
