Synopsis "Duino Elegies: A new and Complete Translation "

Rainer Maria Rilke's Duino Elegies are one of the great literary masterpieces of the twentieth century. Begun in 1912 while the poet was a guest at Duino Castle on the Adriatic Sea and completed in a final bout of feverish inspiration in 1922, the ten elegies survey the mysteries of consciousness, whether human or animal, earthly or divine. Poet and translator Alfred Corn brings us closer to Rilke's meaning than ever before and illuminates the elegies' celebration of life and love. Also included are a critical introduction exploring the nuances of the translation, several thematically linked lyrics, and two of the "Letters to a Young Poet" to complete the volume.

View Author's Page
(Praga, 1875 - Valmont, 1926) Escritor checo en lengua alemana. Fue el poeta en lengua alemana más relevante e influyente de la primera mitad del siglo XX; amplió los límites de expresión de la lírica y extendió su influencia a toda la poesía europea.

Después de abandonar la Academia Militar de Mährisch-Weiskirchen, ingresó en la Escuela de Comercio de Linz y posteriormente estudió historia del arte e historia de la literatura en Praga. Residió en Munich, donde en 1897 conoció a Lou Andreas-Salomé, quince años mayor que él, y que tuvo una influencia decisiva en su pasaje a la madurez. Decidido a no ejercer ningún oficio y a dedicarse plenamente a la literatura, emprendió numerosos viajes. Visitó Italia y Rusia (en compañía de Lou Andreas-Salomé), conoció a León Tolstói y entró en contacto con la mística ortodoxa.
