Synopsis
A ground-breaking masterpiece of early European modernism, originally published in 1910, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge unspools the vivid reflections of the titular young poet and nobleman. From his Paris garret, Brigge records his encounters with the city and its people, muses on his family history and lays bare an alternately exquisite and grotesque atmosphere of death. With a poet’s attention to language, Rainer Maria Rilke forges a dazzlingly visual coming-of-age narrative, kaleidoscopic in its approach to time and its portraits of Parisian life.
“Among the most trustworthy and exhilarating of Rilke’s contemporary translators” (Michael Dirda, Washington Post), Edward Snow zeroes in on the potent precision and astonishing, musical clarity of Rilke’s prose. The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge confronts strikingly contemporary concerns of authorship, empathy and the differences between appearances and reality, remaining an urgent achievement more than one hundred years after it was written.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A groundbreaking masterpiece of early European modernism originally published in 1910, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge unspools the vivid reflections of the titular young Danish nobleman and poet. From his Paris garret, Brigge records his encounters with the city and its outcasts, muses on his family history, and lays bare his earliest experiences of fear, tenderness, and desolation. With a poet's feel for language and a keen instinct for storytelling, Rainer Maria Rilke forges a dazzlingly fractured coming-of-age narrative, kaleidoscopic in its alternation of vivid present encounters and equally alive memories of childhood. Strikingly contemporary, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge reveals a writer metabolizing his own experiences to yield still-essential questions about fiction and reality, empathy and psychosis, and-above all-life, love, and death. In a fascinating introduction, award-winning translator Edward Snow explores the overlaps between Rilke's experiences and those of his protagonist, and shows with granular attention the novel's capacity for nuance and sympathy. Snow's exquisite translation captures as never before the astonishing cadences and musical clarity of the poet's prose. It reveals The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge as an urgent contemporary achievement, more than one hundred years after it was written. A stunning, revelatory new translation of the only novel by one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century, from one of the most trustworthy and exhilarating of Rilkes contemporary translators (Michael Dirda, Washington Post).
