Synopsis

"The Book of Pictures", one of Rilke's most famous collections of poems, learned two editions: The first appeared in 1902 and includes 45 poems - "nothing unimportant, nothing unfestival" found in it, says Rilke. The new edition of 1906 was supplemented by him by 37 poems and reprinted again and again in this form - "a truly new book", as the author found.
The present edition minutiously traces the creation of the poems and book editions, breaks down the texts in a commentary and pays attention to the image sources that inspired Rilke to his poems. A precise look into the workshop for philologically interested people and a celebration for all Rilke fans who want to deal more closely with his work.
