In 1902, a nineteen-year-old aspiring poet named Franz Kappus wrote to Rilke, then twenty-six, seeking advice on his poetry. Kappus, a student at a military academy in Vienna similar to the one Rilke had attended, was about to embark on a career as an officer, for which he had little inclination. Touched by the innocence and forthrightness of the student, Rilke responded to Kappus' letter and began an intermittent correspondence that would last until 1908. Letters to a Young Poet collects the ten letters that Rilke wrote to Kappus. A book often encountered in adolescence, it speaks directly to the young. Rilke offers unguarded thoughts on such diverse subjects as creativity, solitude, self-reliance, living with uncertainty, the shallowness of irony, the uselessness of criticism, career choices, sex, love, God, and art. Letters to a Young Poet is, finally, a life manual. Art, Rilke tells the young poet in his final letter to him, is only another way of living. With the same artistry that marks his widely acclaimed translations of Kafka's The Castle and Amerika: The Missing Person, Mark Harman captures the lyrical and spiritual dimensions of Rilke's prose. In his introduction, he provides biographical contexts for the reader and discusses the challenges of translating Rilke. This lovely hardcover edition makes a perfect gift for any young person starting out in life or for those interested in finding a clear articulation of Rilke's thoughts on life and art.
Mark Harman, who has written extensively on German and Irish literature, is Professor of English and German at Elizabethtown College.
我觉得这个翻译真的没有Stephen Mitchell的好(虽说不懂德语谈翻译实在心虚);看Rilke每封信的开头都要找一堆理由来解释自己为什么这么久才回觉得很搞笑。
评分Works of art are of an infinite solitute, and no means of approach is so useless as criticism. Only love can touch and hold them and be fair to them.
评分软软的安慰。当初想看这本是因为看到了一句书摘:“好好地忍耐,不要沮丧,你想,如果春天要来,大地就使它一点点地完成,我们所能做的最少量的工作,不会使神的生成比起大地之于春天更为艰难。”
