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 writers and artists of all kinds. This book also contains the Letter from a Young Worker , a striking polemic against Christianity written in letter-form, near the end of Rilke s life. In Lewis Hyde s introduction, he explores the context in which these letters were written and how the author embraced his isolation as a creative force. Charlie Louth s afterword discusses the similarities and contrasts of the two works, and Rilke s religious and sexual wordplay. This edition also contains a chronology, notes, and suggested further reading.

It made me rethink the roots of our deepest fears and insecurities, and why we often disappoint ourselves in how we manifest them Bill Clinton, GuardianWinner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1974 and the culmination of a life s work, The Denial of Death is Ernest Becker s brilliant and impassioned answer to the why of human existence. In bold contrast to the predominant Freudian school of thought, Becker tackles the problem of the vital lie - man s refusal to acknowledge his own mortality. The book argues that human civilisation is a defence against the knowledge that we are mortal beings. Becker states that humans live in both the physical world and a symbolic world of meaning, which is where our immortality project resides. We create in order to become immortal - to become part of something we believe will last forever. In this way we hope to give our lives meaning.In The Denial of Death, Becker sheds new light on the nature of humanity and issues a call to life and its living that still resonates decades after it was written.

From one of the most famous poets in history comes a new selection of writings to bereaved friends and acquaintances, providing comfort in a time of grief and words to soothe the soul. A treasure. The solace Rilke offers is uncommon, uplifting and necessary OBSERVERThroughout his life, the poet Rainer Maria Rilke addressed letters to individuals who were close to him, who had contacted him after reading his works, or who he had met briefly â “ anyone with whom he felt an inner connection. Within his vast correspondence, there are about two dozen letters of condolence. In these direct, personal and practical letters, Rilke writes about loss and mortality, assuming the role of a sensitive, serious and uplifting guide through lifeâ ™s difficulties. He consoles a friend on the loss of her nephew, which she experienced like the loss of her own child; a mentor on the death of her dog; and an acquaintance struggling to cope with the end of a friendship. The result is a profound vision of mourning and a meditation on the role of pain in our lives, as well as a soothing guide for how to get through it.Where things become truly difficult and unbearable, we find ourselves in a place already very close to its transformation...

Never before translated into English, Rainer Maria Rilke’s fascinating Letters to a Young Painter, written toward the end of his life between 1920 and 1926, is a surprising companion to his infamous Letters to a Young Poet, earlier correspondence from 1902 to 1908. While the latter has become a global phenomenon, with millions of copies sold in many different languages, the present volume has been largely overlooked.In these eight intimate letters written to a teenage Balthus—who would go on to become one of the leading artists of his generation—Rilke describes the challenges he faced, while opening the door for the young painter to take himself and his work seriously. Rilke’s constant warmth, his ability to sense in advance his correspondent’s difficulties and propose solutions to them, and his sensitivity as a person and an artist come across in these charming and honest letters. Writing during his aged years, this volume paints a picture of the venerable poet as he faced his mortality, through the perspective of hindsight, and continued to embrace his openness towards other creative individuals. With an introduction by Rachel Corbett, author of You Must Change Your Life: The Story of Rainer Maria Rilke and Auguste Rodin (2016), this book is a must-have for Rilke’s admirers, young and old, and all aspiring artists.

Though as yet little known in English-speaking countries, Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) is the finest German poet of this century and one of the greatest lyrical writers in the history of Western literature. A major figure in the modernist movement, with some affinities to Yeats, Rilke had a profound influence on other 20th century poets such as Pasternak and Akhmatova. He is a master of vivid and breathtakingly original imagery in which difficult ideas are made directly apprehensible to the reader and new worlds of experience are opened up. This selection includes poems from all stages of his career, beginning with the delicate works of his early years, through the extraordinary poems he wrote in French (which he used like a first language) and concluding with his mature masterpieces: the SONNETS TO ORPHEUS and the DUINO ELEGIES. Also included are Rilke s prose LETTERS TO A YOUNG POET in which he counsels a younger colleague and expounds his own literary ideal. This is by far the most comprehensive selection from this poet in English and forms an ideal introduction to this work.

Rilkův Kornet je v německém prostředí cosi jako Máchův Máj u nás: báseň o mladé lásce a nesmyslné smrti, čerpající z co nejvíce možností zvukomalebnosti jazyka. Rilke (1875 Praha - 1926 sanatorium Valmont ve Švýcarsku) napsal první verzi Korneta, když mu bylo 23 let, sedm let nato ji ovšem (naštěstí) zásadně přepsal. Absolutním bestsellerem (do konce 50. let milión výtisků) se stala, když ji nakladatelství Insel vydalo v roce 1912 jako svou první publikaci. O prózu se jedná jen zdánlivě. Některé pasáže jsou komponované v pravidelných metrech, které Rilke zatřel tím, že je nerozčlenil do veršů. Skoro každá kapitola je rytmizována jinak, překvapuje jiným poetickým nápadem podporujícím pocity a děj. Překladatel Ondřej Cikán napodobuje formální aspekty originálu co nejvěrněji. Nehraje si na virtuozitu tam, kde v originále panuje strohost. Ve virtuózních pasážích respektuje rytmus a dodržuje původní kompozici. Báseň s německým názvem Weise von Liebe und Tod des Cornets Christoph Rilke vychází v zrcadlovém překladu.

Sitting in the prison classroom each morning, reading the pages in my book, listening to the teacher, I could feel myself slowing down. I had achieved greatness. I had won three Wimbledon titles, two Aussie Opens, the US Open, two Davis Cups, an Olympic gold medal.But where was I now?I looked around this small room, at the tired faces. I looked at the walls and the small windows. Either I was some strange exception, a great man surrounded by lesser men, or I was not an exception at all. I fitted right in. And if I did, why was that?Some fierce internal engine had always driven me â “ a kind of relentless intensity that never let up. It had taken me to Centre Court at Wimbledon. Maybe it had taken me here, too. I thought this craziness was my greatest weapon. I go all-in. Maybe I had turned this weapon on myself. So, I kept reading, each morning. I kept listening.Wimbledon champion at 17, six-time Grand Slam winner and former world number one â “ Boris Becker achieved unparalleled success, fame and wealth throughout his tennis career.

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.

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.

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…

Většina z nás si uvědomuje, že se obklopujeme příliš mnoha věcmi. Doléhá na nás tíha našeho nepořádku a jsme unavení neustálým uklízením a organizováním. Ačkoliv nadměrná spotřeba vede k větším domům, rychlejším autům, dokonalejším technologiím a zaplněným domovům, nikdy nepřináší štěstí. Spíše končí touhou mít ještě víc, což však přesměruje naše soustředění k věcem, kterých třeba nikdy nedosáhneme. Odvádí nás to od skutečného života, který si přejeme žít. Joshua Becker vám ve své knize Méně je více pomůže najít výhody v minimalistickém způsobu života a uvědomit si, jak vás všechny věci, které vlastníte, odvádí od následování vašich snů. Díky této knize budete schopni si vytvořit osobní a praktický přístup k organizaci domova a života, zažít potěšení ze štědrosti či poznat, proč nejlepším výsledkem úspornosti není čistý dům, nýbrž naplněný život.

V této knize se dozvíte, jak je možné v několika krocích odhalit příčinu konkrétního psychologického problému a vyvolat radikální změnu k pozitivnímu. Kam se upírá naše pozornost, tam proudí i naše energie - a stává se realitou. Nicméně, pozornost mnoha lidí je uvězněna v pasti: v destruktivních myšlenkových vzorcích, přesvědčeních a nevyléčených vnitřních konfliktech. Tyto stavy jsou pro většinu lidí zcela normální ; mnozí si ani neuvědomují, co se s nimi děje. Metoda Přímé komunikace s nevědomím je účinný návod, jak získat zpět svoji pozornost a začít žít jako svobodná bytost. Můžete díky ní pomoci jednak sobě, jednak druhým lidem. Friedbert Becker představuje v knize praktické a srozumitelné návody, jak lze komunikovat s inteligentními částmi nevědomí - ať již toho vašeho, nebo jiného člověka. Lidská duše ví nejlépe sama, co se musí odehrát, aby se vyléčily a rozpustily traumatické zážitky, nutkavé stavy, strachy či jiné disharmonie. Stačí nevědomí pokládat správné otázky a pak učinit vše, co nám sdělí, aby se začaly dít zázraky. Na základě přesných instrukcí a zaprotokolovaných rozhovorů autor názorně demonstruje, jak lze za několik málo hodin odstranit traumata, nutkavé stavy, záchvaty paniky či destruktivní myšlenkové vzorce. Metoda je natolik jednoduchá, že s ní již při čtení můžete začít, aniž byste k tomu potřebovali dlouholetá studia.

According to Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Sam Altman and more, the only good future for humanity is one powered by technology: trillions of humans living in space, functionally immortal, served by superintelligent AIs.In More Everything Forever, scientist and writer Adam Becker investigates these wildly implausible and often profoundly immoral visions of tomorrow to reveal why, in reality, there is no good evidence that they will, or should, come to pass. The giants of Silicon Valley claim that their ideas are based on science, but the truth is darker: they come from a jumbled mix of shallow futurism and racist pseudoscience. And behind these fanciful visions of space colonies and digital immortality is a cynical power grab, at the expense of essential work spent on solving real problems like the climate crisis.More Everything Forever exposes the powerful myths that dominate Silicon Valley, challenging us to see how foolish, and dangerous, these visions of the future are.
