A groundbreaking masterpiece of early European modernism originally
published in 1910, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge unspools
the vivid reflections of the titular young Danish nobleman and
poet. From his Paris garret, Brigge records his encounters with the
city and its outcasts, muses on his family history, and lays bare
his earliest experiences of fear, tenderness, and desolation. With
a poet’s feel for language and a keen instinct for storytelling,
Rainer Maria Rilke forges a dazzlingly fractured coming-of-age
narrative, kaleidoscopic in its alternation of vivid present
encounters and equally alive memories of childhood. Strikingly
contemporary, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge reveals a
writer metabolizing his own experiences to yield still-essential
questions about fiction and reality, empathy and psychosis,
and—above all—life, love, and death. In a fascinating
introduction, award-winning translator Edward Snow explores the
overlaps between Rilke’s experiences and those of his
protagonist, and shows with granular attention the novel’s
capacity for nuance and sympathy. Snow’s exquisite translation
captures as never before the astonishing cadences and musical
clarity of the poet’s prose. It reveals The Notebooks of Malte
Laurids Brigge as an urgent contemporary achievement, more than one
hundred years after it was written.
