Travel was a way of life for the Austrian poet and novelist Rainer
Maria Rilke, and it was integral to his work. Between 1897 and 1920
he visited Venice ten times. The city has inspired countless
writers and artists, but Rilke was both enthralled and provoked by
it, as eager to see and explore the city's deserted shipyards and
back alleys as the iconic sights of St Mark's and the Doge's
Palace. He would walk the city alone, staying in simple guesthouses
or the grand palaces of his patrons. Birgit Haustedt guides readers
through the city in the poet's footsteps, showing us the sights
through Rilke's eyes.
