The Complete Collected Letters of Kafka
This modern translation of Franz Kafka’s collected letters provides a deeply personal view of one of literature's most profound and enigmatic figures. These letters, addressed to friends, family, and romantic partners, reveal Kafka’s complex relationships and his constant negotiation between the demands of his inner world and the expectations of society. Across decades of correspondence, Kafka writes with wit, vulnerability, and piercing insight, bringing his correspondents—and the reader—into his uniquely poetic and turbulent mind deeply rooted in Nietzsche and Schopenhauer. Through letters to Max Brod, his lifelong confidant, and Oskar Pollak, a kindred spirit, Kafka reflects on art, philosophy, and the difficulty of human connection. His romantic correspondences with Milena Jesenská, Felice Bauer, and Hedwig Weiler reveal an intimate, often conflicted portrayal of love, oscillating between passion and self-doubt. Letters to family members like his sister Ottla and his father expose a man grappling with familial obligations, love, and resentment. Kafka’s correspondence with intellectual contemporaries such as Gustav Janouch and Ernst Rowohlt highlights his engagement with the literary world and his Schopenhauerian-Nietzschean perspective on the human condition. Kafka’s letters extend beyond his closest relationships to include figures in his professional and intellectual circles. He wrote to Gustav Janouch, a younger admirer and aspiring writer, and engaged in correspondence with Ernst Rowohlt, his publisher, discussing literary matters. Childhood connections, such as Hugo Bergmann, resurface in his writings, offering glimpses into Kafka’s earlier years. Kafka also addressed letters to Felix Weltsch, a member of his circle and a fellow intellectual, as well as Robert Klopstock, a friend he met during his later years. Other significant individuals include Julie Wohryzek, another of Kafka’s romantic interests, and Grete Bloch, a confidante of Felice Bauer who became embroiled in Kafka’s romantic entanglements. Kafka’s letters to Josefine Hochfeld, a cousin, and David Hilbert, a mathematician whose ideas fascinated Kafka, reflect his broader social network. He also corresponded with Carl Sternheim, a playwright, and Georg Langer, a philosophical peer. The letters sometimes touch on figures like Albert Einstein, whom Kafka admired from afar. These figures offer a prism through which the author’s thoughts, fears, and hopes are refracted. The Complete Collected Letters of Kafka is a vivid tapestry of the relationships and ideas that shaped a man whose literary genius continues to captivate readers worldwide.
