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.
两个月来,太多时间花来焦虑,不曾静下心来细细读书,自觉浑身鄙臭,几近文盲。 这两日开始重回图书馆,不特意借什么,书架前逛逛,闲翻,亦不断有惊喜。 今日偶遇此书,便顺手借回。 此前有冯至的译本,颇受好评,直想借来一读。 此版本直接翻自德语,译者尚不出名,采用“直...
评分I.No bravery in your eyes anymore, only sadness 听说《No Bravery》是布朗特服兵役时拿着吉他坐在坦克上写出来的。这使我想起在某个人遥远的梦境里,在一望无垠的原野上,维特根斯坦骑在炮管上,嘴里哼着不知名的曲调,不知那时他心里是否满满都是绝望。里尔...
评分作为一个诗人,里尔克并不相信语言有何种魔力,因为一切事物都不是像人们要我们相信的那样可理解而又说得出的。大多数的事件是不可言传的,它们完全在一个语言从未到达的空间。“那些问题与情感在它们的深处自有它们本来的生命,没有人能够给你解答;因为就是最好的字句也要失...
