Sie erwuchs aus seiner Verbundenheit mit berühmten europäischen Zeitgenossen, aus der Pflege der Freundschaften mit Bewunderern und Gönnern und nicht zuletzt aus leidenschaftlichen Amouren. Für diese Originalausgabe hat der Rilke-Kenner Günter Stolzenberger zeitlose Lebenserkenntnisse ausgewählt, die nicht nur Fans des Schriftstellers überraschen und erfreuen werden.

People consider him of the greatest 20th century users of the language.
His haunting images tend to focus on the difficulty of communion with the ineffable in an age of disbelief, solitude, and profound anxiety — themes that tend to position him as a transitional figure between the traditional and the modernist poets.
His two most famous sequences include the Sonnets to Orpheus , and his most famous prose works include the Letters to a Young Poet and the semi-autobiographical The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge .
He also wrote more than four hundred poems in French, dedicated to the canton of Valais in Switzerland, his homeland of choice.
