Kafka''s letters to Felice Bauer were written between 1912 and 1917, during which time they were twice engaged to be married. This complex relationship, which coincided with a period of great productivity for Kafka, gave him both hope and strength, but gradually disllusionment and the onset of illness drove them apart. These letters remain as a monument to the inner life of a creative artist.

Industry Reviews

Kafka's letters to Felice Bauer provide a highly personal insight into a complex man. Written between 1912 and 1917, they cover the entire period of their relationship during which they were twice engaged to be married. Collected in this way, the letters have the form and direction of a novel, albeit a somewhat tragic one, and following the gradual fraying of their bond is a powerful, quite voyeuristic experience. As Kafka's emotional and physical health decayed so did their relationship; he tellingly confesses in one letter: 'My manner of writing is not crazy in itself, but as crazy as my present way of life.'
