Mixed Media Product. Condición: New. When Franz Xaver Kappus, an aspiring poet and military cadet, wrote to Rainer Maria Rilke for advice in 1903, he could not in his wildest dreams have expected such a voluminous response from the acclaimed German writer. The young poet wasn't to know that he would serve as a sounding board. Rilke, in his late twenties, had a lot on his mind; not least his estrangement from his wife, the mother of his eighteen-month child; his love-hate engagement with Paris and Auguste Rodin; the beginnings of a novel; and the modernisation of his poetry.Focusing on this moment of personal and artistic crisis, Augustus Young picks up the thread of Rilke's life, seeking to weave a patchwork portrait of the enigmatic poet and his intimates. Of the latter, most prominent are his long-suffering wife Clara and Lou Andreas-Salome, a close confidante and ruthless mentor. Utterly committed to creating the conditions he deemed necessary to make poetry, Rilke's personal life is an analyst's dream.
