Rate this book
Erzählungen eines der bedeutendsten Dichter der Moderne

Der Band enthält eine Auswahl von acht frühen Erzählungen Rilkes aus den Jahren 1897–1901. Hier sind experimentierfreudige Texte eines jungen Autors zu entdecken, voller rätselhafter Figuren und facettenreicher Geschehnisse. Das Familienfest schildert auf groteske Weise die verlogenen Konventionen bei einer Familienfeier; Greise porträtiert liebevoll drei alte Sonderlinge. Rilke erzählt von Albrecht Ostermann, der nach einem Spaziergang einfach verschwindet und aus seinem bürgerlichen Leben ausbricht, und von Ewald Tragy, der sich mühsam aus familiären und gesellschaftlichen Fesseln befreit, um Dichter zu werden.
Mit einem Nachwort und Anmerkungen.

About the author

Rainer Maria Rilke

1,812 books6,978 followers
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.

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.
