The Dark Interval de Rainer Maria Rilke

The Dark Interval

Autor Rainer Maria Rilke Traducere de Ulrich Baer
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 aug 2018
From the writer of the classic Letters to a Young Poet, reflections on grief and loss, collected and published here in one volume for the first time.

"A great poet's reflections on our greatest mystery."--Billy Collins

Gleaned from Rainer Maria Rilke's voluminous, never-before-translated letters to bereaved friends and acquaintances, The Dark Interval is a profound vision of the mourning process and a meditation on death's place in our lives. Following the format of Letters to a Young Poet, this book arranges Rilke's letters into an uninterrupted sequence, showcasing the full range of the great author's thoughts on death and dying, as well as his sensitive and moving expressions of consolation and condolence.

Presented with care and authority by master translator Ulrich Baer, The Dark Interval is a literary treasure, an indispensable resource for anyone searching for solace, comfort, and meaning in a time of grief.

Advance praise for The Dark Interval

"Even though each of these letters of condolence is personalized with intimate detail, together they hammer home Rilke's remarkable truth about the death of another: that the pain of it can force us into a 'deeper . . . level of life' and render us more 'vibrant.' Here we have a great poet's reflections on our greatest mystery."--Billy Collins

"This rhapsodic volume teaches us that death is not a negation but a deepening experience in the onslaught of existence. And that as we live our lives, it is possible to feel not sadness or melancholy but a rush of power as the life of others passes into us. What a wise and victorious book "--Henri Cole

Recenzii

This slender book, a selection of letters of condolence, available for the first time in English, is a treasure. The solace Rilke offers is uncommon, uplifting and necessary . He is as unplatitudinous as it is possible for the author of letters of condolence to be . It was Rilke's fresh, courageous, undeceived approach that ensured that recipients held on to these letters as keepsakes and that we can now do the same
A surprisingly uplifting collection about how to make it through life's ups and downs - particularly useful given everything in the news at the moment
For the first time, a series of the letters have been translated and collected in The Dark Interval, forming a remarkable and beautiful resource for finding solace in grief
Even though each of these letters of condolence is personalized with intimate detail, together they hammer home Rilke's remarkable truth about the death of another: that the pain of it can force us into a 'deeper . . . level of life' and render us more 'vibrant.' Here we have a great poet's reflections on our greatest mystery
As we live our lives, it is possible to feel not sadness or melancholy but a rush of power as the life of others passes into us. This rhapsodic volume teaches us that death is not a negation but a deepening experience in the onslaught of existence. What a wise and victorious book!
