The result is a profound vision of how the human drive to create and understand can guide us in every facet of life. Arranged by themefrom everyday existence with others to the exhilarations of love and the experience of loss, from dealing with adversity to the nature of inspirationhere are Rilkes thoughts on how to infuse everyday life with beauty, wonder, and meaning. Intimate, stylistically masterful, brilliantly translated and assembled, and brimming with the passion of Rilke, Letters on Life is a font of wisdom and a perfect book for all occasions.

“[I]t is very important to be idle with confidence, with devotion, possibly even with joy. The days when even our hands do not stir are so exceptionally quiet that it is hardly possible to raise them without hearing a whole lot.”
