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.

In twenty-two precious letters originally written in French, Rilke relishes the prospect of their elusive meeting, keenly discusses the plans for his garden, and wittily laments the trials of his plants. Beyond the encomium for Paul Valéry and poignant memory of place are passages of exquisite writing, in which Rilke evokes with trademark sensitivity the delicate relationship between the changing seasons and the natural world of his adopted region. We also witness the loving relationship evolve between these sometime-fugitive correspondents and how questions of solitariness and companionship impinge on one who faces unaccustomed challenges as his health tragically declines.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePaperback\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e96 pages | 3 halftones \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSeagull Books, 2024\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5 x 8 inches \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN 9781803093345\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLiterature, Letters","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46629951111336,"sku":"9781803093345","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/files\/Letters-around-a-Garden_Rainer-Maria-Rilke_Will-Stone.jpg?v=1706894149"},{"product_id":"letters-to-a-young-poet-4","title":"Letters to a Young Poet","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy Rainer Maria Rilke\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the course of six years, Maria Rilke wrote a series of letters to a young officer cadet, advising him on writing, love, suffering and the nature of advice itself; these profound and lyrical letters have since become hugely influential for writers and artists of all kinds.

Rilkes Auseinandersetzung mit der Pflanzenwelt zeigt ihn als Gärtner im doppelten Sinne: Als botanisierenden Autor und als tatsächlichen Gärtner – als Pflanzensammler, Blumeneinkäufer, botanisch informierten Naturbeobachter und, nach Verfertigung seines großen Spätwerks, als tätigen Gärtner.
