Rainer Maria Rilke: Gesammelte Werke
Rainer Maria Rilke zählt zu den deutschsprachigen Meisterdichtern. Melodische, durchaus gefällige Stimmungslyrik und sprachlich gewagte, bilderreiche Elegien und Sonette wechseln sich ab. Immer jedoch verspürt man in den Werken des Dichters die Sehnsucht nach der Verbundenheit mit einem höheren Wesen, die aus einer neuen Form der Innerlichkeit entstand.Diese Sammlung seiner bekanntesten Werke sollte in keiner Sammlung fehlen.

Rainer Maria Rilke
1,811 books6,972 followersA mystic lyricism and precise imagery often marked verse of German poet Rainer Maria Rilke, whose collections profoundly influenced 20th-century German literature and include
The Book of Hours
(1905) and
The Duino Elegies
(1923).
People consider him of the greatest 20th century users of the language.
His haunting images tend to focus on the difficulty of communion with the ineffable in an age of disbelief, solitude, and profound anxiety — themes that tend to position him as a transitional figure between the traditional and the modernist poets.
His two most famous sequences include the Sonnets to Orpheus , and his most famous prose works include the Letters to a Young Poet and the semi-autobiographical The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge .
He also wrote more than four hundred poems in French, dedicated to the canton of Valais in Switzerland, his homeland of choice.
