Biographie de l'auteur

Michael Hulse has won numerous awards for his poetry, among them first prizes in the National Poetry Competition and the Bridport Poetry Competition (twice) as well as the Society of Authors' Eric Gregory Award and Cholmondeley Award. He has been editor of a literature classics series and of literary quarterlies, has scripted news and documentary programmes for Deutsche Welle television, and has taught at the universities of Erlangen, Eichstätt, Cologne, Zurich, and currently Warwick. Among over sixty books he has translated from the German are titles by W. G. Sebald and Elfriede Jelinek and, for Penguin, Goethe's Sorrows of Young Werther and Jakob Wassermann's Caspar Hauser.Rainer Maria Rilke was born in 1875 in Prague. He studied literature, art history and philosophy in both Munich and Prague, and is often considered one of the German language's greatest 20th century poets. His two most famous verse sequences are the Sonnets to Orpheus and the Duino Elegies; his two most famous prose works are the Letters to a Young Poet and the semi-autobiographical The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge.

Présentation de l'éditeur

First published in Paris in 1910, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge is one of the first great modernist novels, by one of the most important German poets of the twentieth century, in which Rilke's poet-aspirant Brigge explores poetic individuality and reflects on his experience of time as death approaches. This new translation by Burton Pike is a reaction to overly-stylised previous attempts, and aims to capture the beauty, strangeness and spirit of Rilke's German.
