For readers interested in either [sculpture or poetry], this volume is a treat. -- \u003ci\u003eThe Christian Science Monitor\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the early 1900s, the great German poet lived and worked in Paris with Auguste Rodin. In a work as revealing of its author as it is of his famous subject, Rainer Maria Rilke examines Rodin's life and work, and explains the often elusive connection between the creative forces that drive timeless literature and great art.\u003cbr\u003eRilke served for several years as Rodin's secretary -- living in the sculptor's workshops, watching the shaping of his creations, and discussing his views and ideas. Written in 1903 and 1907, these essays about the master's work and development as an artist mark Rilke's entry into the world of letters. Rodin himself paid the poet the ultimate tribute, declaring these meditations the supreme interpretation of his work. This excellent translation, complemented by 33 illustrations, will fascinate students of literature, philosophy, and art history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rainer Maria Rilke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486447200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486447209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 6.48w x 0.29d","brand":"Rainer Maria Rilke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990196912383,"sku":"9780486447209","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_883faa03-2ae8-432d-98ae-e93422f47db8.jpg?v=1683303550","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/auguste-rodin-rainer-maria-rilke-9780486447209","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
