Book Description: Duino Elegiesare the ten magnificent poems that defined the Austrian poet, RainerMaria Rilke's artistic vision of life, death, eternity, and the humancondition. Marievon Thurn und Taxis-Hohenlohe invited Rilke to stay at her castle inDuino, onthe coast of the Adriatic Sea near Trieste.He stayed alone in the castle for about four months and, on a cold day inJanuary, 1912, when he was contemplating how to answer a business letter thathe received, he walked out into the freezing windy morning and, walking along apath by the bastions looking down at the violent waves of the Adriatic a coupleof hundred feet below him, he heard someone speak, but when he turned around,he was alone and the voice that he heard spoke the famous opening lines of theFirst Elegy: 'Wer, wenn ich schriee, h¿rte mich denn aus der Engel/ Ordnungen?'('Who,if I cried out, would hear me among theAngelic/ Orders?'). Dr. Gartner presents a new translation ofRilke's magnum opus as well as of a selection of ten famous poems fromRilke's collected works.
