Messages to Melina Al-Ahliya

Author's name: Franz Kafka Publisher: Al-Ahliyya for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2020 Literary classification: Literary letters Book overview: The book "Letters to Milena" is a gentle invocation of the recipient's and sender's spirits to embody themselves in the words of the letter. In fact, "Letters to Milena" is nothing but communication with ghosts. And this communication is not only with the ghost of the addressee at all, but it extends beyond that to be with the ghost of the person himself, which develops secretly within the letter that that person writes... Thus, Kafka in his book "Letters to Milena" reveals a voice more personal, pure, and painful than his remaining works, as he did not reveal himself in any of his other works as much as he did in his letters to Milena, which began as work letters and then developed into love letters... Here, and hope, distance, rupture, deprivation, and dreams appear; the letters are the rope the writer used to seek help to deal with his conflicts and the turmoil of his fragile personality. They are an anthem of unfiltered human suffering, pouring out with the lament of the tormented soul of the beloved, far from literary salons, the strictness of criticism laws, and reviewers' pens. They may be the best window for fans of the writer who love to get to know the "behind the scenes" of the writer's life and the inner garden of his thinking.
