Kafka's other trial : the letters to Felice
The letters follow Franz Kafka and Felice Bauer's relationship from September 20, 1912 to September 1, 1917, from the most beautiful moments to its collapse. In Kafka's letters, Canetti reveals the famous writer's secret language, significant details about Kafka's private life that are nowhere to be found, stripping him to its core. Canetti excellently and to the detail opened readers eyes in not only Kafka's mind, but also in the life and thinking of people at the beginning of the 20th century. A quite small and at first glance the irrelevant words Canetti turns into smaller and great stories of love, humility, obedience, power, insecurity, trust, intimacy, etc. At the core of the book is Kafka's dilemma between the need for a partner and for a writer very important – the need for solitude. Kafka writes letters from and towards Felice, Max Brodsky, Greta Bloh and to others, describing the parts of other books written by Kafka – The Trail, The Metamorphosis, The Burrow, The Castle, etc.
