The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge
of Rainer Maria Rilke, Mary Dows Herter Norton (Translator)
Description
The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge is Rilkeâs major prose work and was one of the earliest publications to introduce him to American readers. The very wide audience which Rilkeâs work commands today will welcome the reissue in paperback of this extremely perceptive translation of the Notebooks by M. D. Herter Norton. A masterly translation of one of the first great modernist novels by one of the German language's greatest poets, in which a young man named Malte Laurids Brigge lives in a cheap room in Paris while his belongings rot in storage. Every person he sees seems to carry their death within them and with little but a library card to distinguish him from the city's untouchables, he thinks of the deaths, and ghosts, of his aristocratic family, of which he is the sole living descendant. Suffused with passages of lyrical brilliance, Rilke's semi-autobiographical novel is a moving and powerful coming-of-age story.
