Their relationship quickly developed into a deep attachment. Such was his feeling for her that Kafka showed her his diaries and, in doing so, laid bare his heart and his conscience.While at times Milena's 'genius for living' gave Kafka new life, it ultimately exhausted him, and their relationship was to last little over two years. In 1924 Kafka died in a sanatorium near Vienna, and Milena died in 1944 at the hands of the Nazis, leaving these letters as a moving record of their relationship.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: BiographySubtitle: Discover Franz Kafka’s love letters – the surprise TikTok sensation!Release Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
