About this title

Synopsis

This representative selection from Rilke's large and extraordinary correspondence provides a kind of spiritual autobiography of the poet.

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.

About the Authors

Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926), the author of Sonnets to Orpheus, Duino Elegies, and Letters to a Young Poet, was one of the greatest poets of the German language.

M.D.H. Norton (1894–1985) was cofounder of W. W. Norton & Company, now the oldest and largest publisher owned wholly by its employees.

Store Description

Bailey's Bibliomania is a small, used & new bookstore located in the Historic Downtown District of Ellensburg, Washington. We opened the brick and mortar portion of our business in January of 2006. We previously listed books on Abebooks for several years until an accident caused us to take a long break in our business. During that hiatus we also moved our store causing us to decide to start our inventory listings anew. In our inventory we have many thousands of great books that will be listed here on AbeBooks. We have a very eclectic inventory and tend to focus on those books that are unique in some aspect, leaving the popular titles to be sold in our physical store. We strive to rank and describe each book carefully so that buyers know exactly what they are ordering. Please visit us often as we grow here! Thanks for visiting! Mary & John, Owners
