Rilke's powerfully touching letters to an aspiring young poet At the start of the twentieth century, Rainer Maria Rilke wrote a series of letters to a young officer cadet, advising him on writing, love, sex, suffering, and the nature of advice itself. These profound and lyrical letters have since become hugely influential for generations of writers and artists of all kinds, including Lady Gaga and Patti Smith. With honesty, elegance, and a deep understanding of the loneliness that often comes with being an artist, Rilke's letters are an endless source of inspiration and comfort. Lewis Hyde's new introduction explores the context in which these letters were written and how the author embraced his isolation as a creative force. This edition also includes Rilke's later work The Letter from the Young Worker .

Hailed as the greatest modern lyrical poet of Germany, Rainer Maria Rilke's genius lies in his passion for perfection, artistic integrity and `willingness to remain a perpetual beginner'. The verse contained in this selection ranges from the objective, naturalistic descriptions of his earliest works to the increasingly effusive outpourings of half-religious ecstasy and anguish that characterize his later poems and culminates in the overwhelmingly personal vision of the famous `Duino Elegies' and `The Sonnets to Orpheus', in which his most intense experiences of living and being find their noblest expression.

Zápisky Malta Lauridse Brigga lze označit za "dějiny duše". Jediný román velikého básníka patří k nejvlivnějším a nejtrvalejším světovým beletristickým dílům. Vystavěn je na estetice smyslů - události a okamžiky jsou prožívány jako vizuální, akustické, hmatové a čichové vjemy, které probouzejí hluboko uložené zážitky a dávají vzniknout novým myšlenkám. Román se vyznačuje zvláštní směsicí poetiky a prozaičnosti, je to tichá, snovým dojmem působící próza s nezapomenutelnými scénami, které jsou podávány v přesných, analytických popisech, jindy v intenzivních lyrických líčeních. Je to próza, která zasahuje čtenáře podobně náhlými odhaleními a vědomím existence nadpřirozeného jako Rilkova poezie. Rilkův jazyk je v pravém smyslu krásný. Překlad dokonale zprostředkovává znepokojivou krásu originálu, tlumočí do češtiny nejenom význam, ale i perleťový odlesk určitých pasáží, soumračné vyzařování Rilkových slov, a především melodii: teskný valčíkový rytmus vět, jenž se někdy ozývá z hloubky, jindy pulzuje zřetelně při samém povrchu. Maltova křehká, vlastně zhýčkaná duše často myslí na smrt a na duchy své aristokratické rodiny, jejímž je Malte jediným žijícím potomkem. Pomyšlení na vlastní útrapy mu však pomáhá zahánět soucit se zavrženými a trpícími, jimž aktivně pomáhá, a tak se váha smrti a života postupně přechyluje ve prospěch života. Rilke je evropský básník z Prahy, jeho Zápisky jsou skutečnou evropskou knihou, pro niž neexistují hranice mezi státy. Malte, jenž v mládí osiřel a žije v Paříži bez peněz, pochází z dánské šlechtické rodiny, do příběhu však vstupují i události z ruského kulturního okruhu. Genius loci hlavního dějiště - Paříže podněcuje génia autorova a je též kulisou tvořící pozadí Maltova příběhu. Po Rilkově smrti vznikl mýtus, že zemřel, když na své zahradě nastříhal růže, kterými chtěl ohromit krásnou ženu. Píchl se do ruky o trn, rána se zanítila a on nakonec na následky zranění zemřel. Historka sice není pravdivá, ale ukazuje, že stejně jako Malte i jeho stvořitel žil a zemřel jako básník: s poetickým viděním světa a s tvůrčí nepoddajností. Pojďme tedy a začtěme se do Rilkova příběhu…

Long hailed as a masterwork of modern German literature, The Book of Hours (1905) marks the origin of Rainer Maria Rilke’s distinctive voice and vision—where clarity of diction meets unexpected imagery, where first-person poetry discovers its full lyric possibility. In these audacious poems, a devout but intimately candid speaker addresses an ultimately unknowable deity. “What will you do, God, when I die?” Rilke’s speaker asks, passing through love, fear, guilt, anger, bewilderment, loneliness, tenderness and exaltation in his search for meaning.In this dual-language edition, Edward Snow, “the most trustworthy and exhilarating of Rilke’s contemporary translators” (Michael Dirda, The Washington Post), makes Rilke’s achievement accessible as never before in English. Snow combines striking fidelity to the German text with an uncanny ability to convey not just its tones and cadences but the captivating psychological presence that animates Rilke’s best poems. Mystical and moving, The Book of Hours retains its power to astonish.

Lou Andreas-Salomé, dcera francouzského generála ruské armády, která dětství prožila v Petrohradu, autorka několika knih a mnoha článků a recenzí, se v květnu 1897 s Rilkem seznámila jako zralá šestatřicetiletá žena, velmi inteligentní a přitažlivá. Z jejich setkání se zrodilo intelektuální přátelství spisovatelky a dvaadvacetiletého básníka, jež zakrátko přerostlo v milenecký vztah. Zamilovaný estét myje u své milé nádobí a štípe dříví do kamen. Tak blaženou lásku prožívá poprvé - zároveň naposledy. Velký básník lásky, jehož matčina výchova i roky strávené na vojenském gymnáziu přesvědčily o vlastní fyzické podprůměrnosti, se v milostné sféře stává podstatně sebevědomější než v jiných mezilidských vztazích, které mu často jsou přítěží. Dříve trávil čas po kavárnách, redakcích a na premiérách, nyní ale dokáže žít měsíce o samotě. Velkým zážitkem se pro něj stává příroda. Pod milenčiným vlivem si mění jméno René na německou variantu Rainer, jeho dříve tuctově nedbalý rukopis nyní působí energicky, elegantně, uvolněně - a připomíná její písmo. "Přišel jsem k tobě chudý, přišel jsem k bohaté ženě málem jako dítě. Vzala jsi mou duši do náruče a konejšila jsi ji… políbila jsi mě na čelo a musela ses přitom hluboko snížit," píše. Pod vlivem Lou se Rilke zbavuje přemrštěné exaltovanosti, naučí se zvládat návaly smutku. Na cestě k vnitřní rovnováze sice ještě utrží mnoho ran, aniž dosáhne cíle, ale Lou mu umožnila, aby se na sebe samého dovedl podívat z odstupu. Pocit jistoty, který u Lou získal, mu vydrží do konce života. Poslední dopis jí napíše několik dní před smrtí. Knížka vyznačující se hlubokým pochopením pro lidsky blízkého básníka je současně vzpomínkou, posledním rozhovorem i rozloučením… A literárním klenotem.

eBook: Confessions of a Young Man (1888) is a memoir by George Moore. Originally written in French, it is a record of his life in Paris as a young man with money and dreams to spare. Controversial for its depictions of bohemianism and pointed critique of Victorian morality, Confessions of a Young Man has been recognized as an invaluable portrait of nineteenth century Paris and the geniuses who struggled to reshape art in their image. Degas. Renoir. Monet. Zola. Their names are now immortal, instant reminders of their influence on the visual and literary arts. In the 1870s, however, and throughout their lifetimes, they were artists struggling to hone their craft and gain recognition for their work. Into their world came the young George Moore, an Irishman who thought he was a painter and would eventually make his own name as a pioneering modernist writer. In Confessions of a Young Man, he offers his experience and impressions of bohemian life in Paris, a place where the temptations of flesh, drugs, and alcohol led many a young artist astray. In this murky world, he will draw inspiration for his groundbreaking stories and novels in the realist style. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of George Moore’s Confessions of a Young Man is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.

What will you sacrifice for the truth? Maria Ressa has spent decades speaking truth to power. But her work tracking disinformation networks seeded by her own government, spreading lies to its own citizens laced with anger and hate, has landed her in trouble with the most powerful man in the country: President Duterte. Now, hounded by the state, she has multiple arrest warrants against her name, and a potential 100+ years behind bars to prepare for - while she stands trial for speaking the truth. How to Stand Up to a Dictator is the story of how democracy dies by a thousand cuts, and how an invisible atom bomb has exploded online that is killing our freedoms. It maps a network of disinformation - a heinous web of cause and effect - that has netted the globe: from Duterte's drug wars, to America's Capitol Hill, to Britain's Brexit, to Russian and Chinese cyber-warfare, to Facebook and Silicon Valley, to our own clicks and our own votes. Told from the frontline of the digital war, this is Maria Ressa's urgent cry for us to wake up and hold the line, before it is too late.

'The most moving Holocaust diary published since Anne Frank' Daily Telegraph First they led us to the baths, where they took from us everything we still had. Quite literally there wasn't even a hair left. I didn't even recognize my own mother till I heard her voice . . . In 1941, aged 12, Helga Weiss, her mother and father were forced to say goodbye to their home, their relatives and all that they knew, and were interned in the Nazi concentration camp of Terezín. For the next three years, Helga documented her experiences there, and those of her friends and family, in a diary. Then they were sent to Auschwitz, and the diary was left behind, hidden in a wall. Helga was one of a tiny number of Jewish children from Prague to survive the holocaust. After she returned home, she eventually managed to retrieve her diary and completed the journal of her experiences. The result is one of the most vivid first-hand accounts of the Holocaust ever to have been recovered. 'Anne Frank's diary finished when her family was rounded up for the camps: in Helga's Diary, we have a child's record of life inside the extermination factories. Shines a light into the long black night that was the Holocaust' Daily Express 'Resounds with a ferocious will to endure conditions of astonishing cruelty. Displays a rare capacity to remain keenly observant and to find the right words for transmitting . . . memory into history' New Statesman 'A moving testimony to courage and endurance. Remarkable . . . what is so compelling is the immediacy and unknowingness' Financial Times Helga Weiss was born in Prague in 1929. Her father Otto was employed in the state bank and her mother Irena was a dressmaker. Of the 15,000 children brought to Terezín and later deported to Auschwitz, only 100 survived the Holocaust. Helga was one of them. On her return to Prague she studied art and is well known for her paintings. She has two children, three grandchildren and lives in the flat where she was born.
