Description: The Journalism of Milena Jesensk by Kathleen Hayes Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Hayes selects and translates 38 of the more than a thousand articles Czech journalist Jesenska (1896-1944) had published. She selected those of literary and historical interest, but also tried to demonstrate Jesenskas range of topics. The texts she used are the original newspaper articles, rather t Publisher Description Although Milena Jesenskas relationship with Kafka lasted only a short time, it won the attention of the literary world with the 1952 publication of Kafkas letters to Milena. Her own letters did not survive. Later biographies showed her as a fascinating personality in her own right. In the Czech Republic, she is remembered as one of the most prominent journalists of the interwar period and as a brave one: in 1939 she was arrested for her work in the resistance after the German occupation of Bohemia and Moravia, and died in Ravensbruck concentration camp in 1944. It is estimated that Jesenska wrote well over 1,000 articles, but only a handful have been translated into English. In this book her own writings provide a new perspective on her personality, as well as the changes in Central Europe between the two world wars as these were perceived by a woman of letters. The articles in this volume cover a wide range of topics, including her perceptions of Kafka, her understanding of social and cultural changes during this period, the threat of Nazism, and the plight of the Jews in the 1930s. Author Biography Kathleen Hayes received her Ph.D from the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University of London, and has taught Czech literature and history at Charles University and New York University in Prague.
