The next 100 will be solely for RMRilke
I'm so obsessed, and need to get as much as I can from this Austrian Poet and Letter writer.
$20 -- Selected Poetry, over 500 pages translated by Stephen Mitchell, nothing complete here, but some really like this guy's translations, I have his one for Duino Elegies and The Sonnets to Orpheus and Letters to a Young Poet, i'd like eventually to get all of the reputable translations, and even with the best, from what I hear it's nothing like reading them in the original German, but what am I gonna do eh? Learn another language? I don't have that in me I don't think!!
10 (30) -- Letters Around a Garden -- I think this will show his head space when he penned his last great work which was shortly before he died!!
10 (40) Rilke on Love -- Letters, need as much of these little volumes as possible, maybe by purchasing these and getting others on SW to do the same the money hungry soulless business people will commission a series large volumes containing all of his Letters in chronological order, how cool would that be!!
20 (60) -- Diaries of a Young Poet -- I like a description of this that said that he was like channeling these diary entries to Lou Andreas-Salome, like everything this man did was an art form, even Letters and Diaries!!
20 (80) -- Edward Snow's translation of Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge: A Novel
30 (110) Duino Elegies, Deluxe Edition: The original English translation of Rilke's landmark poetry cycle, by Vita and Edward Sackville-West - reissued for the first time in 90 years -- that's how it's advertised, makes it sound spectacular!! I have a Delphi for Vita, and checked in it if it had this, but nope i'll have to get this, which probably has extra goodies like at least an Introduction.
There's plenty more to get, some only in physical format, like some thick biographies by Donald Prater and Ralph Freedman just for starters!!
