Rilke's creative heritage is unique in its versatility, in its contradiction to the era: in the difficult times of revolutions and the First World War, he wrote about aesthetics and dreams, referring to "the inner world of a person, which is full of hidden meanings and meanings that he alone understands." Although Rilke's poetry collections brought world fame, his prose is not inferior to poetry in strength of spirit, power, ringing sense of reality. This collection includes the famous "Letters to a Young Poet" and "Letters about Cezanne" - subtle notes about poetry and the nature of poetic creativity, about art and the path of a true artist, about loneliness and love.
