Product Description
These have been called the most famous and beloved letters of our century. Rainer Maria Rilke himself said that much of his creative expression went into his correspondence, and here he touches upon a wide range of subjects that will interest writers, artists, and thinkers. This edition includes a new foreword by Kent Nerburn, author of Small Graces and Letters to My Son.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing Book!   January 9, 2010
Nicholas Ibanez (Sunnyvale, CA)
I highly recommend this book to all writers, poets and artists of any sort. This will bring you new inspiration but one that you had all along.


1 out of 5 stars Much ado about nothing.   June 13, 2009

I heard so many great things about this book that I was expecting so much more than it delivered. I think the writer is full of himself and is trying to elevate his miserable introverted life into something redemptive and grandiose. I found only a few snippets of anything that resembled wisdom; the rest was so much hot air.

5 out of 5 stars A true classic   April 6, 2009
H. Cordes
This book is a true classic. I would recommend for anyone who enjoys poetry and the struggle in finding the perfect words.


5 out of 5 stars This book is fantastic!   January 28, 2008

This little book though short in lenght packs a condensed form of life wisdom. Some of the insight Rilke writes to his friend are priceless. Rilke penetrates to the essence of a wide range issues from religious to material never preaching but more like asking his friend to truly examine his decisions in life and let no one else make his choices for him. This has to be one of my all time favorite books and it is a quick read as well.

I would recommend this book. A thoughtful book that shows time goes on but the challenges are basically the same.
