- Summary:
- This book, translated by acclaimed translator Harman, compiles the letters of Rainer Maria Rilke to Franz Kappus from 1903 to 1908. In 1902 Kappus, a young writer in need of advice, had requested correspondence with Rilke in regard to his career choices. Over the next six years Rilke sent many letters to Kappus offering his unique perspectives on many subjects like, art, writing, solitude, creativity, sex, love, God, and many others. This compilation provides young writers the same benefit Kappus enjoyed, personal advice from one of the most significant poets of modernity.
