Synopsis "The Sonnets to Orpheus"

The fifty-five Sonnets to Orpheus were written by Rilke in February 1922, in less than two weeks. Their central themes are Orpheus and his song of praise; what is sung is "Dasein", "being- here", the presence in the world. Rilke considered as a betrayal of his poetry any translation that would not reproduce, together with his thinking, his internal movement, his rhythm, his rhymes, his music. The goal of the translator has been to make that orchestration "heard" as much as possible, to try and reproduce the structure, rhyme and rhythm, of Rilke's Sonnets, in order for these translations to sound as echoes of the originals.

(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.
