A new translation of Rilke's great work with close readings of each of the ten elegies elucidating how their poetic attributes constitute their meaning.Rilke continues to be the most read and discussed German poet of the modern period. The Duino Elegies, together with the Sonnets to Orpheus, remain his greatest achievement. The themes of the ten elegies - and the conceptual world unique to Rilke from which they emerge - can best be understood through their poetic form: their imagery and neologistic formations, their angular syntax, their abrupt changes of tone and linguistic register, their use of multiple personae and speaking voices, and the often-ironic self-presentation of the author. Commentators, however, have often treated these features as mere formal devices that we can somehow see through to get to what really matters, that is, to what Rilke has to say about the human condition or the meaning of life, to his philosophy or worldview. On the contrary, they are constitutive of meaning in the elegies, and understanding them is crucial to our experience of reading Rilke's work. The purpose of this book is to make such features visible and to explain them to the reader as clearly as possible. This is the first full-length book in English devoted to the elegies in over thirty years. It offers an entirely new translation of each elegy, paired with the original German text, and a close reading of each.

With a foreword by Damion Searls and an afterword by Norton's current president, Julia Reidhead, this handsome new edition brings Rilke's enduring wisdom about life, love and art to a new generation.

Zwei außergewöhnliche Menschen - ein ungewöhnliches LiebespaarIm Frühjahr 1900 fahren die Schriftstellerin Lou Andreas-Salomé und Rainer Maria Rilke gemeinsam für mehrere Wochen nach Rußland. Sie besichtigen Kirchen und Galerien in Moskau, reisen per Schiff auf der Wolga und setzen sich mit der sozialen Frage im Gespräch mit Leo Tolstoi auseinander. Am Ende kehren beide fasziniert aus dem Zarenreich zurück; ihre Liebe zueinander kann diese Reise allerdings nicht überdauern. Lou Andreas-Salomé führt ein ausgesprochen lebendiges Tagebuch. Rainer Maria Rilke legt seine Erlebnisse und Empfindungen in mehreren Briefen nieder: ... was verdankt ich Rußland -, es hat mich zu dem gemacht, was ich bin, von dort ging ich innerlich aus, alle Heimat meines Instinkts, all mein innerer Ursprung ist dort!   Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) war einer der größten Dichter deutscher Sprache. Mit großem Gespür für seine Umwelt und für die Kraft der Worte hinterließ Rilke der Nachwelt ein bedeutendes Werk aus Prosa, Lyrik und Aufsätzen. Auch seine Briefwechsel zählen zum deutschen Kulturerbe. Lou Andreas-Salomé - geborene Louise von Salomé - wurde am 12. Februar 1861 in St. Petersburg geboren und starb am 5. Februar 1937 in Göttingen. Sie war eine russisch-deutsche Schriftstellerin, Erzählerin, Essayistin und Psychoanalytikerin.

This new translation of selected poems from Rainer Maria Rilke's Das Stunden-Buch (Book of Hours) includes images of sculpture and artwork by Auguste Rodin, Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh, Emil Orlik, Heinrich Vogeler, Ernst Barlach, Käthe Kollwitz and other artists known to Rilke and his contemporaries. It represents a modern take on the medieval Book of Hours, a personal devotional book of prayers for the Christian layperson that often was illustrated with religious miniatures and illuminated text. The novel approach of the SelfScape Book of Hours: Rainer Maria Rilke Edition to Rilke's first major work of poetry shows how Rilke deconstructed the traditional components of the medieval Book of Hours - Sequences of the Gospels, Hours of the Virgin, Cross and Holy Spirit, Penitential Psalms, Office of the Dead and Suffrages - and used that medieval form as a vehicle for his own unique poetic conversation with God. The three individual books of Rilke's Book of Hours - the Book of Monastic Life, Book of Pilgrimage and Book of Poverty and Death - are reordered here to map back to the medieval Book of Hours format and to progress through the monastic daily hours of prayer - Matins and Lauds from midnight to dawn, Prime, Terce, Sext and None during the daylight hours, Vespers at sunset and Compline at bedtime.

It is a book of quiet, close-knit prose studded with unforgettable scenes, set forth here in precise, analytical descriptions, there in intense, lyrical flights of near- poetry. It is uniquely Rilke and touches the reader with the same sudden revelations and uncanny awareness as do his poems.

Rilke is one of the most widely read poets of the 20th century. In his poetry, Rilke addresses the problems of death, God, and "destructive time," and attempts to overcome and transform these problems into an indestructive inner world.

The eighty-four poems included in this small volume will serve as a sound and inviting introduction to Rilke's strategies in the pursuit of "being." And just as the unicorn in "This Is the Creature" has an eternal "possibility of being" but only becomes visible in the mirror held by a virgin, so can our own possibilities become manifest in the mirror held by the sensitive artist. The poems are chosen from The Book of Hours (1899-1903), The Book of Images (1902 and 1906), New Poems (1907 and 1908), Requiem (1909), Duino Elegies (1923), Sonnets to Orpheus (1923), and the posthumous Poems 1906-26. This selection was made by Professor Theodore Ziolkowski of Princeton University, who drew from the various New Directions volumes of Rilke's work translated by J. B. Leishman.

The Everyman's Library Pocket Poets hardcover series is popular for its compact size and reasonable price which does not compromise content. Poems: Rilke contains poems from The Book of Images; New Poems; Requiem for a Friend; Poems, 1906-1926; French Poems; The Life of Mary; Sonnets to Orpheus; The Duino Elegies; Letters to a Young Poet; and an index of first lines.
