In these audacious poems, a devout but candid speaker addresses an ultimately unknowable deity, 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 Rilke's contemporary translators\" (Michael Dirda, The Washington Post), makes Rilke's achievement accessible as never before in English. Snow retains a striking fidelity to the German text while also conveying the captivating psychological presence that animates Rilke's best poems. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368674111861,"sku":"9781324123460","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781324123460","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
