«Lettres à un jeune poète» is the correspondence of Rainer Maria Rilke, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (224 pages, in French).
In 1903, Rilke begins a correspondence with Franz Kappus, a twenty-year-old from a military academy who sends him his first poems; the ten letters, published in 1929, are a meditation on solitude, creation and inner fulfilment, rather than a treatise on poetic craft. Includes essays (1912-1919) and poems in French.
Translation, introduction and notes by Hans Hartje and Claude Mouchard.
For readers interested in intimate correspondence and reflection on literary creation.
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.
