Bücher von Rainer Maria Rilke

In May 1926, Rilke sent his publishers an arrangement of German-language poems as a possible manuscript; most date to 1924, but the collection also included material from a recovered 1906 daybook and a final set of poems from his last two years. This volume is the first English translation of these poems in the arrangement Rilke set down in 1926.

This collection of Rilke's best novels includes some of his most magical and mysterious works. This selection includes his first poems, The Book of Pictures poems, New Poems, The Book of Hours poems, The Book of Pilgrimage poems, The Book of Poverty and Death poems.Rene Karl Wilhelm Johann Josef Maria Rilke, better known as Rainer Maria Rilke, a Bohemian-Austrian poet and novelist, recognized as one of the most lyrically intense German-language poets. Rilke wrote in both verse and highly lyrical prose. His work is often described as deeply mystical.

These letters give the account of Rilke's own state of mind and of his final approach to the threshold of his great works. They show the rapid change he underwent after his reaction to the first excitement of the war; how his dismay at the cruelty and confusion of war helped to render the poet in him speechless for many years; how he nevertheless characteristically held to his own fundamental views throughout war and revolution and in spite of everything retained his belief in the capacity of humanity to create for itself a better future.

Facsimile of 1943 Edition. Born in 1875, the great German lyric poet Rainer Maria Rilke published his first collection of poems in 1898 and went on to become renowned for his delicate depiction of the workings of the human heart. Drawn by some sympathetic note in his poems, young people often wrote to Rilke with their problems and hopes. From 1903 to 1908 Rilke wrote a series of remarkable responses to a young, would-be poet on poetry and on surviving as a sensitive observer in a harsh world. Those letters, ten in all, remain a fresh source of inspiration and insight to the poetic sensibility to this day.
