Rainer Maria Rilke- The Book of Hours PB

A new translation of Rilke s relatively neglected first work which deserves to be brought to our notice with its relevance, its questing challenge, its demands, and because in it are witnessed the seeds and early voice of the great poet. This Jungian interpretation renders the work strangely contemporary, elucidates its dense, difficult passages and shows Rilke, serving as a vessel for divine and creative conflict, exploring the consciousness of modern man."The Book of Hours is the grand entrance to the rest of Rilke." -- U.A. Fanthorpe"A fresh, interesting approach to a book that has befuddled many, and a must for Rilke addicts." -- Josephine Balmer
