“Les Plis – les livres prêts-à-expédier” collection
For lovers, everything is new, unexpected, unheard-of novelty.
Endowed with the indulgence of the inflexible, a great poet learns to look at the world as if it were the first day of creation and to face difficulties as a means of self-discovery. Treasures of wisdom and daring, Rainer M. Rilke’s letters resonate in their depth and topicality: the reflections of a man who knew how to demand all of life’s perfection.
Great traveler, lover of the arts, demanding observer, Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) is the absolute incarnation of the poet. His relationship to the world, to beings and to himself, scrutinized by writing, made him an exceptional correspondent and a spiritual master. In his letters, the author of Duino’s Elegies questions human nature, love, and joy, with an overwhelming acuity and delicacy, committing to love life down to its smallest contradictions.
Letters chosen and presented by Marco Federici Solari.
An essential collection for readers of Letters to a Young Poet.
