He returned many times over the course of his life, by turns inspired and appalled by the city's high culture and low society, and his writings give a fascinating insight into Parisian art and culture in the last century. Paris was a lifelong source of inspiration for Rilke. Perhaps most significantly, the letters he wrote about it formed the basis of his prose masterpiece, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMuch of this work, despite its perennial popularity in French, German, and Italian, has never before been translated into English. This volume brings together a translation of Rilke's essay on poetry, 'Notes on the Melody of Things' and the first English translation of Rilke's experiences in Paris as observed by his French translator.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rainer Maria Rilke, Maurice Betz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178227474X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781782274742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pushkin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/29\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/26\/2019","brand":"Rainer Maria Rilke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46974470815999,"sku":"9781782274742","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d5e45ffb-ca9c-473e-8abe-962df0cb53e5.jpg?v=1750875119","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rilke-in-paris-rainer-maria-rilke-9781782274742","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
