Gedichte

A collection of Rainer Maria Rilke's poems (1875-1926) with an interesting preface by Silvia Schlenstedt.

René Karl Wilhelm Johann Josef Maria Rilke , shortened to Rainer Maria Rilke, was an Austrian poet and novelist. Acclaimed as an idiosyncratic and expressive poet, he is widely recognized as a significant writer in the German language. His work is viewed by critics and scholars as possessing undertones of mysticism, exploring themes of subjective experience and disbelief. His writings include one novel, several collections of poetry and several volumes of correspondence.
