Letters to Felice in two parts

Kafka corresponded with an unknown woman and always referred to her in his diaries by the first letter of her name, "F". This name remained unknown and people had no idea what her name was and kept guessing it from all possible things without finding the right name. Until a woman named Felice Bauer published letters in 1955, five years before her death, saying that Kafka had sent them to her. Her name appeared for the first time in full, "Felice Bauer". It turned out that there was a love affair between her and Kafka that lasted for five years from 1912 to 1917. The period of exchanging letters witnessed two engagements between them, but Kafka broke them off for various reasons. During the period of writing these letters, Kafka wrote a number of important works, including "The Metamorphosis" and "In the Penal Colony" and his first attempts to write the novel "The Trial".
