Letters to Milena

Written by: Franz Kafka

“In fact, letters are nothing but communication with ghosts. This communication was not only with the ghost of the addressee at all, but rather with the ghost of the person himself, which develops secretly within the message that that person writes.”
Thus, Kafka reveals in his letters a voice that is more personal, pure, and painful than his remaining works, as he did not reveal in any of his other works about himself as he did in his letters to Melina, which began as work letters and then developed into love letters. Here Kafka appears to abandon his artistic rigor and the laws of his nightmarish writings in favor of broadcasting his deep and influential human concerns of fear, hope, distance, estrangement, deprivation and dreams. It is an anthem of unfiltered human torment that is wasted by the sobbing of the tormented soul of the beloved, far from the salons of literature, the strictness of the laws of criticism, and the pens of reviewers. It may be the best window for writer lovers who like to know the "scenes" of the writer's life and the inner garden of his thinking.
