Encuadernación: rústica.Los Poemas en prosa constituyen la parte menos conocida de la obra poética de Rainer
Maria Rilke. En esta edición se publica, además, la primera traducción que se ha hecho de esos
Poemas en prosa al español. Los mismos rasgos de la obra poética en verso de Rilke aparecen en
estas breves obras en prosa. Los grandes poetas son siempre excelentes prosistas, y esa regla se
confirma en los textos de Rilke que ahora se reúnen...
Rilke's great cycle of ten elegies, perhaps his most profound poetic achievement, had its inception on the morning of January 21, 1912, but was interrupted by the First World War and not completed until a decade later. The Duino Elegies are not only the result of an extraordinary kind of contact with the unseen world, they are an attempt to understand that world in its holistic relationship to the visible, tangible world. This powerful renderi...
Bisher ungedruckte Zeugnisse einer kurzen Freundschaft im Zeichen Hölderlins - vor dem Hintergrund des Ersten Weltkriegs.
Rainer Maria Rilkes Freundschaft zu dem Initiator der kritischen Hölderlin-Ausgabe, Norbert von Hellingrath, begann im Oktober 1910 in München. Bald wurde Hellingrath zum »Hölderlin-Lehrmeister« des Dichters: Ihre Gespräche und die Auseinandersetzung mit Hellingraths wissenschaftlicher Arbeit eröffneten Rilke den Zugang zu...

Composed in 1899 when Rilke was only twenty-three, the interconnected tales of Stories of God were inspired by a trip to Russia the young poet had made the year previously. It is said that the vastness of the Russian landscape and the profound spirituality he perceived in the simple people he met led him to an experience of finding God in all things, and to the conviction that God seeks to be known by us as passionately as we might seek to kno...
Dieser Briefwechsel dreht sich um ein zentrales, beharrlich wiederkehrendes Motiv: "daß Sie vertrauensvoll und geduldig die großartige Einsamkeit an sich arbeiten lassen". Hier wird eindeutig der notwendigen Stärkung des Selbstvertrauens der Vorrang vor jeder literarischen "Erziehung" eingeräumt. Rilke bemüht sich, das Eigene und das Mögliche seines Gesprächspartners und seines Lesers herauszustreichen. Darin besteht zum Großteil der Erfolg di...
The content of these sonnets, appearing comparatively simple at first, resonate far beyond the familiar legend of Orpheus and Eurydice, they have a range that encompasses the Singing God and his beloved Eurydice, legend in general, time, flight and change, architecture, music and dance, and animals, plants, flowers, and fruits.
In 1903, Rilke replied in a series of 10 letters to a student who had submitted some verses to the well-known Austrian poet for an assessment. Written during an important stage in Rilke's artistic development, these letters contain many of the themes that later appeared in his best works. Essential reading for scholars, poetry lovers.
Originallly published as four clothbound editions ("The Roses and The Windows, " "The Astonishment of Origins, " "Orchards, " and "The Migration of Powers"), this large paperback brings together all of Rilke's French poems, as well as his hitherto unpublished "Dedications and Fragments, " in an exquisite English translation by A.
