Rate this book
»Er war das Idol und der Abgott ganzer Generationen deutscher, mehr noch, europäischer Leser und sein klangvoll-rhythmischer Name wurde zum Inbegriff des Rainer Maria Rilke. Er war ein genialer Künstler. Er wusste mit dem Reim umzugehen wie nur wenige Dichter in der Geschichte unserer Literatur, er hat der Sprache ungeahnte Klänge und Melodien abgewonnen. In vielen Versen vermochte er auszudrücken, was unaussprechbar Seine Poesie ist ein Triumph über das Unsagbare.« Marcel Reich-Ranicki
Der Zauber von Rilkes Versen ist bis heute ungebrochen. Dieser Band versammelt die schönsten Gedichte aus seinem lyrischen Werk, herausgegeben von Marcel Reich-Ranicki.

About the author

Rainer Maria Rilke

1,798 books6,932 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.
