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":54064874717547,"sku":"YSL13027","price":6.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/1674\/0203\/files\/61fSle1komL._SY1500.jpg?v=1792053573","url":"https:\/\/www.booktavero.com\/products\/b00cvs660c","provider":"BookTavero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
