Le Lettere a un giovane poeta non sono un breviario: guai a considerarlo tale, come invece numerosi avventori della prima ora avrebbero preferito fare; non sono nemmeno una mappa incisa di segnali oscuri ancorche studiatamente leggibili. Queste lettere sono scritte da un giovane uomo che cerca di rifuggire il vaticinio cui il suo interlocutore sembra volerlo destinare, che non ha consigli se non quello di restare legati alle piccole cose che le persone faticano a vedere e che tutto a un tratto possono divenire grandi e incommensurabili. Nutrire amore per cio che e inappariscente: questo lapprodo, infine, per chi sente nellarte la dismisura, limpossibilita di adempimento, e che tuttavia non puo che risolversi nel tentativo supremo di toccare la forma e farla sua, ora e sempre.

Composed in 1899 when Rilke was only twenty-three, the interconnected tales of Stories of God were inspired by a trip to Russia the young poet had made the year previously. It is said that the vastness of the Russian landscape and the profound spirituality he perceived in the simple people he met led him to an experience of finding God in all things, and to the conviction that God seeks to be known by us as passionately as we might seek to know God.All the great themes of Rilkes later powerful and complex poetry can be found in the Stories of God, yet their charming, folktale-like quality has made them among the most accessible of Rilkes works, beloved by all ages.

An elegant translation of Rilkes writings on sculptor Auguste Rodin that offers a fresh look at an unlikely mentorship and two extraordinary artists (The New York Times Book Review). Sculptor Auguste Rodin was fortunate to have his secretary Rainer Maria Rilke, one of the most sensitive poets of our time. These two pieces discussing Rodins work and development as an artist are as revealing of Rilke as they are of his subject. Written in 1902 and 1907, these essays mark the entry of the poet into the world of letters. Rilkes description of Rodin reveals the profound psychic connection between the two great artists, both masters of giving visible life to the invisible. Michael Eastmans evocative photographs of Rodins sculptures shed light on both Rodins art and Rilkes thoughts and catapult them into the 21st century.

How everything remains what it is and has only this choice: to come true, or to exaggerate and push too far.Art: The work of art is adjustment, balance, reassurance. It can be neither gloomy nor full of rosy hopes, for its essence consists of justice.Faith: I personally feel a greater affinity to all those religions in which the middleman is less essential or almost entirely suppressed.Love: To be loved means to be ablaze. To love is: to shine with inexhaustible oil. To be loved is to pass away; to love is to last.Intimate, stylistically masterful, brilliantly translated, and brimming with the wonder and passion of Rilke, The Poets Guide to Life is comparable to the best works of wisdom in all of literature and a perfect book for all occasions.

The reputation of Rainer Maria Rilke has grown steadily since his death in 1926; today he is widely considered to be the greatest poet of the twentieth century. This Modern Library edition presents Stephen Mitchells acclaimed translations of Rilke, which have won praise for their re-creation of the poets rich formal music and depth of thought. If Rilke had written in English, Denis Donoghue wrote in The New York Times Book Review, he would have written in this English. Ahead of All Parting is an abundant selection of Rilkes lifework. It contains representative poems from his early collections The Book of Hours and The Book of Pictures; many selections from the revolutionary New Poems, which drew inspiration from Rodin and Cezanne; the hitherto little-known Requiem for a Friend; and a generous selection of the late uncollected poems, which constitute some of his finest work. Included too are passages from Rilkes influential novel, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge, and nine of his brilliant uncollected prose pieces. Finally, the book presents the poets two greatest masterpieces in their entirety: the Duino Elegies and The Sonnets to Orpheus. Rilkes voice, with its extraordinary combination of formality, power, speed and lightness, can be heard in Mr. Mitchells versions more clearly than in any others, said W. S. Merwin. His work is masterful.
