These letters from the poet and mystic Rainer Maria Rilke to a
nineteen-year-old cadet and aspiring poet have inspired millions of
readers since they were first published in English in 1934. The
first and most popular translator of this work was Mary Dows Herter
Norton—a polymath extraordinaire who played a crucial role in
elevating Rilke’s global reputation. The Norton Centenary Edition
commemorates this extraordinary woman, known as “Polly” to
friends and colleagues, and celebrates the 100th anniversary of the
publishing company she co-founded. With a foreword by Damion Searls
and an afterword by Norton’s current president, Julia Reidhead,
this handsome new edition brings Rilke’s enduring wisdom about
life, love and art to a new generation.
