«Au fil de la vie» is Rainer Maria Rilke's collection of stories and sketches, published by Gallimard in paperback (135 pages, in French).
Eleven stories and sketches in which Rilke shows the humour and grotesqueness of mediocre lives: an old spinster and her black box, a confession at a station, a funeral mass, a hospice and two sisters united by hatred. The author of «Los cuadernos de Malte Laurids Brigge» reveals here his comic side and his view of the human condition.
Work originally published in 1898 under the title «Am Leben hin». French translation by Claude Porcell; volume 4557 of the Folio series.
For readers of short fiction and classic narrative who want to discover Rilke's more ironic and humorous side.
René Karl Wilhelm Johann Josef Maria Rilke, known as Rainer Maria Rilke, was an Austrian poet. Acclaimed as an idiosyncratic and expressive poet, he is widely recognized as a significant writer in the German language. His work is viewed by critics and scholars as possessing undertones of mysticism, exploring themes of subjective experience and disbelief. His writings include one novel, several collections of poetry, several volumes of correspondence and a few early novellas.
