Rilke in Paris

In 1902, the young German writer Rainer Maria Rilke traveled to Paris to write a monograph on the sculptor Auguste Rodin. He returned many times over the course of his life, by turns inspired and appalled by the city`s high culture and low society, and his writings give a fascinating insight into Parisian art and culture in the last century. This book brings together Rilke`s brilliant essay on poetry `Notes on the Melody of Things` and the first English translation of Rilke`s experiences in Paris as observed by his French translator, Maurice Betz.
