Rainer Maria Rilke - Selected Poetry & Prose (7 books) torrent

RAINER MARIA RILKE (1875-1926) was a Bohemian-Austrian poet and novelist, widely recognized as one of the most lyrically intense German-language poets, writing in both verse and highly lyrical prose. Rilke's work invokes haunting images that focus on the difficulty of communion with the ineffable in an age of disbelief, solitude, and profound anxiety. These deeply existential themes tend to position him as a transitional figure between the traditional and the modernist writers.

Among English-language readers, his best-known works include the poetry collections DUINO ELEGIES (1922) and SONNETS TO ORPHEUS (1922), the semi-autobiographical novel THE NOTEBOOKS OF MALTE LAURIDS BRIGGE (1910), and a collection of ten letters that was published after his death under the title LETTERS TO A YOUNG POET (1929).
