Letters to Milena - Franz Kafka, Philip Boehm (Translator)

The passionate but doomed epistolary love affair between a Czech translator and one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, the author of The Metamorphosis and The Trial. “Extraordinary … touching, horrifying, brilliant, sickly, [and] heartbreaking. … The most significant key we have for a reading of the author’s novels and short stories.”—The New York Times
