«Lettres à un jeune poète et autres lettres» is the correspondence of Rainer Maria Rilke published by Flammarion in paperback (161 pp., in French).
Between 1903 and 1908 Rainer Maria Rilke wrote ten letters to Franz Xaver Kappus, a young poet who had asked his advice about his vocation. In them he reflects on artistic creation, solitude as a source of inspiration and the need to write from one's own experience. This edition adds other letters by the author.
The work was originally published as «Briefe an einen jungen Dichter» in 1929; this French edition is from 1998.
Of interest to readers of poetry, essays and epistolary literature, and to those who wish to approach Rilke's creative process.
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.
