Rilke's powerfully touching letters to an aspiring young poet,
now available in a beautiful hardcover Penguin edition
At the start of the twentieth century, Rainer Maria Rilke wrote a
series of letters to a young officer cadet, advising him on
writing, love, sex, suffering, and the nature of advice itself.
These profound and lyrical letters have since become hugely
influential for generations of writers and artists of all kinds,
including Lady Gaga and Patti Smith. With honesty, elegance, and
a deep understanding of the loneliness that often comes with
being an artist, Rilke's letters are an endless source of
inspiration and comfort. Lewis Hyde's new introduction explores
the context in which these letters were written and how the
author embraced his isolation as a creative force.
