Letters to Milena by Franz Kafka

Letters to Milena is a deeply personal collection of letters written by Franz Kafka to Milena Jesenská, a Czech journalist and translator, between 1920 and 1923. These letters reveal Kafka’s intense emotions, his struggles with self-doubt, love, and illness, and his deep intellectual connection with Milena.
