These Letters to Milena date from 1920 to 1922; while their correspondence is very rich, we only have letters from the writer, which show the intensity of his short passion. With great ease of writing, Kafka evokes his troubles, even his disturbances in the face of the absence and lack of this young married woman with whom he is madly in love.
In Vienna, Milena Jesenská translated Kafka's first short stories into Czech in 1920. They met on this occasion in Merano and cured the writer. She is 24; he is 38. Nevertheless, Kafka is ill, and this will often take over. He talks about his fears; his letters can be fiery or cynical. Milena and Franz will see each other little but be very close, and their passion will occupy all the space. Yet the letters of an impossible love that is too difficult to bear will become less frequent and eventually cease.
Thanks to the power of Kafka's expressions, I thought talking about love was easy, but his complicated relationship with Milena doesn't always make him comfortable. However, I find that a man who reveals himself is very moving.
