Bilingual edition. 356pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition (very slight shelfwear). "Stephen Mitchell's translations bring the qualities that I most cherish in the originals into English with new intimacy and authority.

Merwin.

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. The uncorrected proof for Stephen Mitchell's translation of Rainer Maria Rilke's famous "Letters to a Young Poet." Rilke (1875-1926) wrote the letters to an aspiring poet, Franz Xaver Kappus, between 1903 and 1908. Kappus had written to Rilke, seeking Rilke's approval of his poems. Rilke doesn't comment much on the quality of Kappus's verses, but he's generous with advice on art, solitude, and the writing life. Kappus published the 10 letters from Rilke in 1929, three years following Rilke's death. While there have been numerous translations since then, this version by Stephen Mitchell was widely praised by critics.

Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. In English and Spanish. This is another book that was owned by the author Erica Jong. She signed her name on the blank front end paper. She also underlined (in pen) a sentence, or a few sentences, on a half-dozen pages, also penned 'p.27 ' on the blank rear end paper. Page 27 was one of the pages she underlined on. The book is in really nice condition. The covers are exceptionally clean. The gilt lettering on the spine is nicely bright. The cover edges and corners look terrific, no rubbing. The page edges look very good, the middle one is deckled or rough-cut. They did a very good job. The book is very solidly bound with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I didn't find any soiling. There doesn't seem to be any creasing. There are no markings or attachments. And Ms. Jong's signature is the only name written in the book. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. It's in very nice shape. It's very clean. I don't see any soiling at all. There's a tiny crinkle just off the top edge of the spine. The flaps are in very nice shape, perfectly clean. There is a teeny tiny tear off the rear flap's top edge just adjacent to its middle edge shared with the rear cover. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. It will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned.…
