About this product

Product Information

The ten letters collected here are arguably the most famous and beloved letters of our century. Written when Rainer Maria Rilke was himself still a young man with most of his greatest work before him, they are addressed to a student who had sent Rilke some of his work, asking for advice about becoming a writer. The two never met, but over a period of several years Rilke wrote him these ten letters, which have been enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of readers for what Stephen Mitchell calls the "vibrant and deeply felt experience of life" that informs them.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Insightful! 'Life Guidelines" for all creative people!

    After watching "Sister Act 2" for the umpteenth time, I finally jotted down the title and author of the book she recommends to her student - which her mother had her read as a teen, and swiftly ordered it. Wow! This little - and I mean 'little' - book exposes a mammoth treasure chest of solid hopes, gracious tips, and wholesome advice on pursuing one's creative choice and leads one to the path of healthy growth, both in the Arts and in Life. I highly recommend this book to any frustrated artists seeking guidance and meaning in their creative efforts. This book is wonderful!

  • Great advice

    Great read. Highly recommended.
