Célèbre la terre pour l'ange
L'auteur des Lettres à un jeune poète , Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926), a fait une place particulière dans son oeuvre à la figure de l'ange. Cette anthologie retrace pour la première fois ce saisissant dialogue. Le poète interpelle cet émissaire d'entre deux mondes qui irradie de son mystère les Élégies de Duino et tant de recueils. À travers ses voyages, ses rencontres, ses lectures, Rilke cherche à émanciper l'ange de ses attaches anciennes. Celui-ci s'est éloigné de Dieu ; il murmure aux hommes. C'est sa splendeur et son essence que le poète veut restituer à notre temps. Cette anthologie a été conçue et présentée par Jean Philippe de Tonnac, romancier et essayiste, et Jeanne Wagner, traductrice, spécialiste de l'oeuvre de Rilke.
