About the Author
Rainer Maria Rilke was an Austrian poet born in Prague, Bohemia, Austria-Hungary on December 4, 1875. Rilke is considered one of the most intense writers in German who produced both poetry and prose. His famous works include a semi-autobiographical novel The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge (1910), poetry collections Duino Elegies (1923) and Sonnets to Orpheus (1923) and a collection of letters printed under the title Letters to a Young Poet (1929). Rilke s work has been characterised as existential and invokes images that describe anxiety, scepticism, and loneliness. For this reason, Rilke s work is often given a transitional position between the traditional and the modernist writings. Rilke died of leukaemia on December 29, 1926, in Vaud, Switzerland.
