The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge (German & Austrian Literature)

by Rainer Maria Rilke

The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge (German & Austrian Literature) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

First published in 1910, Rilke's Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge is one the first great modernist novels, the account of poet-aspirant Brigge in his exploration of poetic individuality and his reflections on the experience of time as death approaches. This translation by Burton Pike is a reaction to overly stylized previous translations, and aims to capture not only the beauty but also the strangeness, the spirit, of Rilke's German.

Synopsis:

"Translator Burton Pike captures the edgy, haunting beauty of this little-known masterpiece."--O Magazine
