Hailed as the greatest modern lyrical poet of Germany, Rainer Maria Rilke’s genius lies in his passion for perfection, artistic integrity and ‘willingness to remain a perpetual beginner’. The verse contained in this selection ranges from the objective, naturalistic descriptions of his earliest works to the increasingly effusive outpourings of half-religious ecstasy and anguish that characterize his later poems and culminates in the overwhelmingly personal vision of the famous ‘Duino Elegies’ and ‘The Sonnets to Orpheus’, in which his most intense experiences of living and being find their noblest expression.

At the start of the twentieth century, Rainer Maria Rilke wrote a series of letters to a young officer cadet, advising him on writing, love, sex, suffering and the nature of advice itself; these profound and lyrical letters have since become hugely influential for writers and artists of all kinds. This book also contains the 'Letter from a Young Worker', a striking polemic against Christianity written in letter-form, near the end of Rilke's life. In Lewis Hyde's introduction, he explores the context in which these letters were written and how the author embraced his isolation as a creative force. Charlie Louth's afterword discusses the similarities and contrasts of the two works, and Rilke's religious and sexual wordplay. This edition also contains a chronology, notes, and suggested further reading.

While his old furniture rots in storage, Malte Laurids Brigge lives in a cheap room in Paris, with little but a library reader's card to distinguish him from the city's untouchables. Every person he sees seems to carry their death with them, and he thinks of the deaths, and ghosts, of his aristocratic family, of which only he remains. The only novel by one of the greatest writers of poetry in German, the semi-autobiographical Notebooks is an uneasy, compelling and poetic book that anticipated Sartre and is full of passages of lyrical brilliance. Michael Hulse's new translation perfectly conveys the unsettling beauty of the original and is accompanied by an introduction on Rilke's life and the biographical and literary influences on the Notebooks. This edition also includes suggested further reading, a chronology and notes.

Klaus Modick erzahlt die Entstehungsgeschichte des beruhmtesten Worpsweder Gemaldes, von einer schwierigen Kunstlerfreundschaft – und von der Liebe. Im Jahr 1905 ist Heinrich Vogeler auf der Hohe seines Erfolgs und wird fur sein Meisterwerk »Das Konzert oder Sommerabend auf dem Barkenhoff« offentlich gefeiert. Fur Vogeler ist es das Resultat eines dreifachen Scheiterns: In seiner Ehe kriselt es, sein kunstlerisches Selbstbewusstsein wankt, und seine fragile Freundschaft zu Rainer Maria Rilke, dem literarischen Stern am Himmel der Worpsweder Kunstlerkolonie, zerbricht – und das Bild bringt das zum Ausdruck: Rilkes Platz zwischen den Frauen, die er liebt, bleibt demonstrativ leer. Was die beiden zueinander fuhrte und spater trennte, welchen Anteil die Frauen daran hatten, die Kunst, das Geld und die Politik, davon erzahlt Klaus Modick auf kunstvolle Weise. Ein gro?artiger Kunstlerroman, einfuhlsam, kenntnisreich, atmospharisch und klug.

Tragedy did not wither her: it crowned her with majesty... Her life, in Keats's phrase, became 'a continual allegory', its strands interwoven with the story of a people. Indeed, her poems can be read in sequence as a 20th-century Russian chronicle.
