Letters to Milena

Franz Kafka

Sinopse

"Letters to Milena" by Franz Kafka is a deeply personal collection that reveals not only the intense emotional connection he shared with Milena Jesenská but also the writer's own inner turmoil. Composed between 1920 and 1923, these letters were addressed to Milena, a Czech journalist and translator, who first introduced Kafka's works to Czech readers. Born in 1883 in Prague, Kafka was a German-speaking Jewish author best known for works like The Metamorphosis and The Trial. Meanwhile, Milena (1896–1944) was a spirited writer and journalist, known for her progressive views and bold critique of social injustices.
Their correspondence began after Milena sought permission to translate Kafka's stories. Initially rooted in mutual admiration, it quickly intensified into a profound emotional bond. Though never married, their exchange of letters represents one of the most significant relationships in Kafka's life. Within these pages, readers encounter Kafka's remarkable ability to articulate longing, vulnerability, and introspection. He bares his anxieties and fears, oscillating between hope and despair as he grapples with questions of identity, creativity, and love. Milena often responds with empathy, providing reassurance and, at times, challenging Kafka's pessimism.
Beyond depicting a deeply personal connection, "Letters to Milena" is vital for understanding Kafka's artistic sensibilities. Shaped by a perpetual sense of alienation, his writing finds a haven in Milena's sympathy and intellect. This emotional refuge allowed him to delve deeper into his creative process, giving rise to some of his most poignant reflections. For scholars and casual readers alike, the collection offers a rare window into Kafka's personal life, illuminating the delicate interplay between his profound vulnerabilities and intellectual rigor. Through these letters, one witnesses an intensely human portrait of a writer forever seeking understanding in a world defined by uncertainty. Published posthumously, the letters remain a testament to the enduring resonance of Kafka's literary legacy.

Browdean Farm - From their pens...

A M Burrage

Alfred McLelland Burrage was born in Hillingdon, Middlesex on 1st July, 1889. His father and uncle were both writers, primarily of boy’s fiction, and by age 16 AM Burrage had joined them.  The young man had ambitions to write for the adult market too.  The money was better and so was his writing. 
From 1890 to 1914, prior to the mainstream appeal of cinema and radio the printed word, mainly in magazines, was the foremost mass entertainment.  AM Burrage quickly became a master of the market publishing his stories regularly across a number of publications. 
By the start of the Great War Burrage was well established but in 1916 he was conscripted to fight on the Western Front. He continued to write during these years documenting his experiences in the classic book War is War by Ex-Private X. 
For the remainder of his life Burrage was rarely printed in book form but continued to write and be published on a prodigious scale in magazines and newspapers.  In this volume we concentrate on his supernatural stories which are, by common consent, some of the best ever written.  Succinct yet full of character each reveals a twist and a flavour that is unsettling…..sometimes menacing….always disturbing.

Top 10 Short Stories The - The...

James Joyce, Franz Kafka, Luigi...

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.

In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?

The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.

Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.

In this volume we examine a decade of tumult and upheaval for the continent and its Empires as both countries and social classes tense under insoluble issues. All at once Europe is engulfed in slaughter and overwhelmed by fighting. Its authors use their pens both to help enlighten and to provide some scant strands of escape in these most demanding of times.
