Letters to a Young Poet | Rainer Maria Rilke | Translated by Charlie Louth

Nonfiction Epistolary Classic Over 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. This volume also contains the 'Letter from a Young Worker', a striking polemic against Christianity written too in letter form. Hardcover Clothbound 126 pages Penguin
