Rilke and Andreas-Salomé: A Love Story in Letters

"Immensely readable...a significant piece of scholarship."â€”Fred Volkmer, New York Sun

He would become one of the most important poets of the twentieth century; she a muse of Europe's fin-de-siecle thinkers and artists. In this collection of letters, a finalist for the PEN USA translation award, the poet Rainer Maria Rilke and Lou Andreas-SalomÃ©, a writer and intellectual fourteen years his senior, pen a relationship that spans thirty years and shifting boundaries: as lovers, as mentor and protÃ©gÃ©, and as deep personal and literary allies.
