This book was released on 1964 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Here at last is an English translation of J.R. von Salis's Rainer Maria Rilke's Schweizer Jahre, a work which has been indispensable to biographers and students of Rilke ever since it was first published in 1936. It tells the story of the poet's last seven years, from 1919, when he left Germany for Switzerland, to 1926 and his death from leukaemmia in the Valmont clinic. Apart from a few short breaks, those years were all spent in Switzerland. Soon after his arrival there he wrote to Anton and Katherina Kippenberg: Order and security! Dear friends, when am I to find these things, so necessary to my great task, and where?' He had to search for two years and suffer many disappointments before finding them eventually in the medieval tower of Muzot, the 'hard little house' set in the rich landscape of the Valais. There, during a few days of intense creative activity, he completed his 'great task': the Duino Elegies, which he had begun ten years earlier and had at times despaired of being able to finish."- Publisher

Download or read book Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke 1892 1910 written by Rainer Maria Rilke and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 1969-02-17 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This representative selection from Rilke's large and extraordinary correspondence provides a kind of spiritual autobiography of the poet. The period here covered reflects all the great experiences of Rilke's early adult life: his difficult beginnings, his relationships with Lou Andreas-Salome and with his wife Clara, his two journeys to Russia, his contact with the Worpswede artists, the influence of Paris, the revelation of Cezanne. Many of the letters are psychologically revealing; many touch upon characteristic themes, or freshly transcribe experience that sooner or later passes into the poetry.
Download or read book Pied Piper of Lovers written by Lawrence Durrell and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Durrell's first novel, published in 1935, shortly after he left England to live abroad until his death in 1990. It traces Walsh Clifton's Anglo-Indian childhood and his struggles to negotiate a life between "mother" India and "father" England. The trauma of leaving India for an alien home propels the novel's concerns with colonial life and its wounds, transitioning from an idyllic rural world to London and Bloomsbury in the 1920s.
Download or read book A Ringing Glass written by Donald A. Prater and published by Oxford [Oxfordshire] : Clarendon Press ; New York : Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1986 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) is widely regarded as the greatest lyric poet of this century. His major achievements--the New poems, the Sonnets to Orpheus, and the incomparable Duino Elegies--had a powerful impact on European literature and have been the subject of intense scrutiny and increasing acclaim since the poet's death. Only in recent years, however, with the emergence of key documentary material, has it become possible to present the full story of Rilke's life. In A Ringing Glass, Donald Prater's aim is not to add another stone to the mounting edifice of critical interpretation, but to provide a portrait of the man hmself, and to show the background in which Rilke's extraordinary vision developed. And it is an extraordinary background. Rilke's nomadic existence led him from his birthplace in Prague through Germany, Russian, Spain, Italy, France, and finally Switzerland, He visited Tolstoy at Yasnaya Polyana, acted for a time as secretary to Rodin, and was friend of Ramain Rolland, Leonid Pasternak, and Walter Rathenau. He was the protege of Princess Marie von Thurn und Taxis and the lover Lou Andreas-Salome and Baladine Klossawska (of whose son, the painter Balthus, he was an early patron). Financially and emotionally, Rilke needed these associations; yet he dedicated himself fully to his art and remained single-minded in his search for the solitude it required. In his correspondence, from which Prater draws extensively, Rilke reveals the tragic conflict between his needs as a man and his goals as a poet. "This above all," he wrote a younger colleague, "ask yourself...must I write? Delve into yourself for a deep answer. And if this should be affirmative...then build your life according to this necessity." With this comprehensive biography, readers can themselves delve deeply into the life Rilke built, a life as courageous and rare as the poetry it left behind. About the Author: Donald Prater is the author of European of Yesterday, a biography of Stefan Zweig, and his edition of the Rilke-Zweig correspondence will appear shortly in Germany. Aa major new biography of the century's greatest lyric poet .Draws extensively on Rilke's letters to present an intimate portrait"
