Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) is one of the greatest lyric German poets. Born in Prague, he published his first book of poems, Leben und Lieber, at age nineteen. He met Lou Salomé, the talented and spirited daughter of a Russian army officer, who influenced him deeply. In 1902 he became the friend, and for a time the secretary, of Rodin, and it was during his twelve-year Paris residence that Rilke enjoyed his greatest poetic activity. In 1919 he went to Switzerland where he spent the last years of his life. It was there that he wrote his last two works, Duino Elegies (1923) and The Sonnets to Orpheus (1923).
Stephen Mitchell was born in Brooklyn in 1943 and studied at Amherst, the University of Paris and Yale. Considered one of the preeminent translators of his generation he has translated many classic texts including Gilgamesh, The Bhagavad Gita, Tao Te Ching and the Book of Job.
Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet are arguably the most famous and beloved letters of the twentieth century. Written when the poet was himself still a young man, with most of his greatest work before him, they were addressed to a student who had sent Rilke some of his own writing, asking for advice on becoming a writer. The two never met, but over a period of several years Rilke wrote him these ten letters, which have been cherished by hundreds of thousands of readers for what Stephen Mitchell calls in his Foreword that "vibrant and deeply felt experience of life" that informs them. Eloquent and personal, Rilke's meditations on the creative process, the nature of love, the wisdom of children, and the importance of solitude offer a wealth of spiritual and practical guidance for anyone. At the same time, this collection, in Stephen Mitchell's definitive translation, reveals the thoughts and feelings of one of the greatest poets and most distinctive sensibilities of the twentieth century.
Written between 1903 and 1908 to a student who had sent Rilke his poems for evaluation, these ten letters--among the most famous and beloved of this century--reveal the deeply felt ideas about life and art that shaped the great poet's work. Two-color interior.
你不要相信,那试行劝慰你的人是无忧无虑地生活在那些有时对你有益的简单而平静的几句话里。他的生活有许多的辛苦与悲哀,他远远地专诚帮助你。不然,他就绝不能找到那几句话。 ——里尔克致卡卜斯 信之八 我...

评分亲爱的里尔克先生: 您好。读罢您写给那个幸运的青年诗人的十封信后。我也萌生了给您写一封信的念头。 我不是诗人,也从未想过成为一个艺术家。但您对诗人的箴言,我却读进了心坎里。 您说—— “创作者必须自己是一个完整的世界,在自身和自身联接的自然界里得到一切。” “...
评分每当我茫然的时候,就会读这本书。这本书给我的感觉就是指路的明灯。 比如如何对待自己的创作和与他人比较的问题,很多时候,我们都想写好诗,可是里尔克说,如果诗真是从自己的内心,从必要里面出发而写出来的,你还会在乎好还是不好吗? 每当我浮躁的时候,就想到里尔克的这...

评分inspiring!!
评分So spiritually elevating! The poet's understanding of art and creativity - and their relationship with solitude - how precise, and how inspiring! (How many books came along as such, under Siyao's recommendation? I lost count.) If Rilke had been this young poet's spiritual teacher, then perhaps Siyao is mine. She always recommend me great books.
评分已购。P6:Confess to yourself whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write .This most of all:ask yourself in the most silent hour of your night:MUST I write?Dig into yourself for a deep answer. P94:Don't observe yourself too closely.Don't be too quick to draw conclusions from what happens to you;simply let it happen.
