<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>One of the literary masterpieces of the century, this translation is now presented with facing-page German.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>To Rilke himself the <em>Sonnets to Orpheus</em> were perhaps the most mysterious in the way they came up and entrusted themselves to me, the most enigmatic dictation I have ever held through and achieved; the whole first part was written down in a single breathless act of obedience, between the 2nd and 5th of February, without one word being doubtful or having to be changed. With facing-page German.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[Edward Snow] has emerged as Rilke's outstanding English-language interpreter . . . [He] is doing important work. Robert Lowell once wrote that it was hard to imagine Rilke first written in English, that the poems were sealed in German. Snow is unsealing them." -- Robert Phillips, "Houston Chronicle<BR><br>
