Description
Rilke in Paris offers a unique perspective on the city's art and culture at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1902, Rainer Maria Rilke traveled to Paris to write about Auguste Rodin, a journey that would become a lifelong source of inspiration. This collection brings together two key works: Rilke's essay on poetry, 'Notes on the Melody of Things', and his experiences in Paris as observed by his French translator. Much of this work has never been translated into English before, making it an exciting discovery for readers familiar with Rilke's prose masterpiece, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge. A fascinating insight into Parisian art and culture is provided, shedding light on the city's high culture and low society during a pivotal moment in history.
