"...an enjoyable biography of the brief, intense relationship between Rilke and Auguste Rodin...Corbett's narrative is pacy and vivid..." Financial Times
Paris, 1902: Renowned sculptor Auguste Rodin has just completed The Thinker. Rainer Maria Rilke is a delicate young visitor from Prague, broke and suffering from a case of writer's block. When Rilke is commissioned to write a book about Rodin, everything changes...You Must Change Your Life reveals one of the great stories of modern art and literature: Rodin and Rilke's years together as master and disciple, their heartbreaking rift, and ultimately their moving reconciliation. In her vibrant debut, Rachel Corbett reveals how Rodin's influence led Rilke to write his most celebrated poems and inspired his beloved Letters to a Young Poet. She captures the dawn of modernism with appearances by Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse, Lou Andreas-Salome, George Bernard Shaw, and Jean Cocteau. And she recounts the remarkable friendship of two extraordinary artists whose work continues to reverberate a century later.

Review:
"You Must Change Your Life wondrously reveals a neglected relationship between two masters of their art forms, the elder reinventor of sculpture at the turn of the 20th century, Auguste Rodin, and the visionary German poet Rainer Maria Rilke...Rachel Corbett has woven this tale of their lives, and the women who were crucial in this story, with all the rough-hewn muscularity of a Rodin masterpiece merged with the twilight grace of a Rilke poem. --Winner of the Marfield Prize, National Award for Arts Writing
"[a] splendid new book...Corbett looks into life as deeply as is possible for answers, but she knows when to stop. This is the hallmark of her moral intelligence." --The Art Newspaper

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. "[An] empathetic and imaginative biography, deeply researched."The New Yorker In 1902, Rainer Maria Rilkethen a struggling poet in Germanywent to Paris to research and write a short book about the sculptor Auguste Rodin. The two were almost polar opposites: Rilke in his twenties, delicate and unknown; Rodin in his sixties, carnal and revered. Yet they fell into an instantaneous friendshipand before long Rodin hired Rilke as his secretary. With verve and great insight, Corbett transports readers to turn-of-the-twentieth-century Paris to explore this surprising friendship and the development of their influential ideas about art and creativity. She captures the dawn of modernism with appearances by such charismatic figures as Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse, Isadora Duncan, George Bernard Shaw, and Jean Cocteau, as well as the rise of the concept of "empathy" amid the pioneering work of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, and Georg Simmel. Corbett also introduces the women in these mens lives, many of them esteemed writers and artists in their own right: Rodins muse Camille Claudel, Rilkes wife and fellow artist Clara Westhoff, and the remarkable Lou Andreas-Salome, who was Nietzsches lover and Rilkes lifelong friend. You Must Change Your Life is a vibrant portrait of Rilke and Rodins singular friendship, heartbreaking rift, and moving reconciliation, and it is a testament to the ways their work continues to reverberate to this day.16 illustrations The extraordinary story of the one of the most fruitful friendships in modern arts and letters.
