About this product

Product Information

The fifty-five Sonnets to Orpheus were written in early 1922, in a fury of creative activity perhaps unequalled in literature: they arrived with such power that Rilke completed them in less than three weeks. The sonnets use the myth of Orpheus' love for Euridice, her death, his search for her and his own violent end to explore the meaning of death and the value of art. In this volume a poet and a German scholar have collaborated to produce English versions that preserve both the form and the enigmatic clarity of the original poems. The Sonnets to Orpheus reveal Rilke's imaginative brilliance and his philosophy of profound hope.
