More about the book

Set against the backdrop of Florence in 1898, Rainer Maria Rilke's diary captures his reflections on early Renaissance art through an imaginative dialogue with Lou Andreas-Salome. The entries reveal his evolving thoughts on life, history, and creativity, alongside candid moments of self-doubt and anticipation. This collection offers an intimate portrayal of Rilke as a young artist, showcasing his innovative use of language and metaphor. The new translation by Edward Snow and Michael Winkler presents a more nuanced understanding of Rilke's early work.
