Förlagets beskrivning
Long hailed as a masterwork of modern German literature, The Book of Hours (1905) marks the origin of Rainer Maria Rilkes distinctive voice and visionwhere clarity of diction meets unexpected imagery, where first-person poetry discovers its full lyric possibility. In these audacious poems, a devout but intimately candid speaker addresses an ultimately unknowable deity. What will you do, God, when I die? Rilkes speaker asks, passing through love, fear, guilt, anger, bewilderment, loneliness, tenderness, and exaltation in his search for meaning. In this dual-language edition, Edward Snow, the most trustworthy and exhilarating of Rilkes contemporary translators (Michael Dirda, Washington Post), makes Rilkes achievement accessible as never before in English. Snow combines striking fidelity to the German text with an uncanny ability to convey not just its tones and cadences but the captivating psychological presence that animates Rilkes best poems. Mystical and moving, The Book of Hours retains its power to astonish
