During the period of the correspondence Kafka and Bauer were engaged twice, and Kafka produced some of his most famous works, includingThe Metamorphosis ,In the Penal Colony and his first attempts at writingThe Trial .Originally published in German in 1967 as "Briefe an Felice", the collection was first published in English by Schocken Books in 1973. It was translated by

Elias Canetti wrote about the correspondence in "Kafka's Other Trial: The Letters to Felice". Through a reading of the letters along with sections of "The Trial" Canetti examined Kafka's struggle between a comfortable middle-class life and individual isolation.References
