Rainer Maria Rilke developed one of the most singular poetic styles
of the twentieth century. Visionary yet always anchored in the real
world, his poems give profound expression to fundamental questions
of love and death, of the chaos of the modern world as well as the
spiritual consolation of art and nature. Change Your Life draws
from across Rilke's career to offer a comprehensive view of his
most essential poetry, featuring major selections from the great
Duino Elegies and Sonnets to Orpheus alongside less frequently
anthologised work. In these dazzling new translations by acclaimed
poet Martyn Crucefix, Rilke's poems beguile with fresh insight and
mystery.
Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) was already an old man when the young
poet Rainer Maria Rilke went to interview him for the first time.
Rilke stayed on to work as Rodin's secretary. Intensely sensitive
to art, and in particular to the irreducible power of objects, and
yet able to express this awareness in prose of great lyricism and
clarity, Rilke was destined to be the critic who would most
naturally dramatise Rodin's work. In 1903 Rilke published this
essay, a sustained and profound meditation on the unique power of
Rodin's sculpture that has never been equalled. Written around a
chronology of Rodin's work, it is also a very approachable
introduction to some of the greatest sculpture of the nineteenth
century.
'What matters is to live everything. Live the questions for now.' A
hugely influential collection for writers and artists of all kinds,
Rilke's profound and lyrical letters to a young friend advise on
writing, love, sex, suffering and the nature of advice itself. One
of 46 new books in the bestselling Little Black Classics series, to
celebrate the first ever Penguin Classic in 1946. Each book gives
readers a taste of the Classics' huge range and diversity, with
works from around the world and across the centuries - including
fables, decadence, heartbreak, tall tales, satire, ghosts, battles
and elephants.
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.
