"This miracle of a book, perhaps the most beautiful group of poetic translations this century has ever produced," (Chicago Tribune) should stand as the definitive English language version.

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.
