The period here covered reflects all the great experiences of Rilke's early adult life: his difficult beginnings, his relationships with Lou Andreas-Salome and with his wife Clara, his two journeys to Russia, his contact with the Worpswede artists, the influence of Paris, the revelation of Cezanne. Many of the letters are psychologically revealing; many touch upon characteristic themes, or freshly transcribe experience that sooner or later passes into the poetry.

Every page is stamped with Rilke's characteristic grace, and the book is free of the breathless effect that occasionally mars his poetry. His ideas on gender and the role of the artist are also surprisingly prescient. And even his retrograde comment on the "beauty of the virgin" (which the poet derives from the fact that she "has not yet achieved anything") is counterbalanced by his perception that "the sexes are more related than we think." Those looking for an alluring image of the solitary artist--and for an astonishing quotient of wisdom--will find both in Letters to a Young Poet.

Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926) is considered one of the German language's greatest poets. His most famous works are the "Sonnets to Orpheus" and the "Duino Elegies." Rilke wrote Stories of God in 1899 at the age of 23 in seven nights. He later wrote that the stories were a "youthful" attempt bring God into "direct and daily experiencing."
Although at least two English translations of these stories - excepting 'A letter from lame Ewald' - exist, the very differences between those two volumes helped inspire an idea to have a different translator work on each story as well as to...
