Letters on Life: New Prose Translations (Modern Library Classics) Paperback – April 11, 2006

I carry this book with me everywhere. It’s literally my bible. This is my favorite of Rilke.

Such an honest and authentic approach to commonplace topics. Beautifully written

my son need this book for school and the price reasonable Thanks it got here on time and he just loves it excellent condition

Wonderful Book ~

A book containing absolute depth and beauty.

I am astonished that this wonderful book has not been widely reviewed by Rilke fans. Ulrich Baer is a superb translator and just as crucially he has a deep understanding of Rilke's intention and meaning - vital for opening a window to appreciating one of the greatest poets of the last century (Rilke died in 1926). It is Rilke's prose that is on show here - Baer has made his selection from many thousands of letters, and gathered countless insights that would otherwise be unavailable to English-language readers.

Interesting prose on "LIFE" by noted German author....mostly OK, but not my subject material favorite
