Book Synopsis Wartime Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke by : Rainer Maria Rilke
Download or read book Wartime Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke written by Rainer Maria Rilke. This book was released on 1964-05-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The letters Rilke wrote during the war and postwar years are of particular interest not only for whatever they may contain of the wisdom of the poet, the artist, and the humanitarian, but for their analysis of the intellectual and spiritual currents of the time. 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.

Book Synopsis Poems from the Book of Hours by : Rainer Maria Rilke
Download or read book Poems from the Book of Hours written by Rainer Maria Rilke. This book was released on 1975. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rilke’s Book of Hours falls into three parts: The Book of Monkish Life (1899), The Book of Pilgrimage (1901), and The Book of Poverty and Death (1903). Although these poems were the work of Rilke’s youth, they contain the germ of his mature convictions. Written as spontaneously received prayers, they celebrate a God who is not the Creator of the Universe, but seems to be rather humanity itself, and, above all, that most intensely conscious part of humanity, the artist. This exquisite gift edition contains Babette Deutsch’s classic translations, which capture the rich harmony and suggestive imagery of the originals, allowing interpretations both religious and philosophical, and transporting the reader to new heights of inspiration and musicality.
