Die Ausgabe vereint erstmals eine Auswahl aus Rodins Aktzeichnungen mit thematisch verwandten Texten Rainer Maria Rilkes zu einer, wie es im Nachwort von Annette Ludwig heißt, »Apotheose des Weiblichen«.
A mystic lyricism and precise imagery often marked verse of German poet Rainer Maria Rilke, whose collections profoundly influenced 20th-century German literature and include The Book of Hours (1905) and The Duino Elegies (1923).
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.
