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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52892258828575,"sku":"A7190","price":9.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/0546\/5119\/files\/ebook_6240_1641318e8d.jpg?v=1789651782","url":"https:\/\/lumobook.store\/products\/letters-to-milena-the-schocken-kafka-library","provider":"LumoBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
