Although The Book of Hours is the work of Rilke’s youth, it contains the germ of his mature convictions. Written as spontaneously received prayers, these poems celebrate a God who is not the Creator of the Universe but rather humanityitself and, above all, that most intensely conscious part of humanity, the artist. Babette Deutsch’s classic translations―born from “the pure desire to sing what thepoet sang” (Ursula K. Le Guin)―capture the rich harmony and suggestive imagery of the originals, transporting the reader to new heights of inspiration and musicality.
"Sinopsis" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.
Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926), the author of Sonnets to Orpheus, Duino Elegies, and Letters to a Young Poet, was one of the greatest poets of the German language.
Babette Deutsch (1859–1982) was a poet, critic, and novelist, as well as a translator.
The God they celebrate is not the Creator of the universe, but seems rather the creation of humanity: the artists. Rewarding alike for the richness of their harmonies and the suggestiveness of their imagery, these lyrics allow of interpretations acceptable both to the religious and to the philosophical mind.
