Born in Prague, he published his first book of poems, \u003ci\u003eLeben und Lieber, \u003c\/i\u003e at age 19. In 1897 he met Lou Andreas-Salomé, the talented and spirited daughter of a Russian army officer, who influenced him deeply. In 1902 he became a friend, and for a time the secretary, of Rodin, and it was during his 12-year Paris residence that Rilke enjoyed his greatest poetic activity. In 1919 he went to Switzerland where he spent the last years of his life. It was there that he wrote his last two works, \u003ci\u003eDuino Elegies \u003c\/i\u003e(1923) and \u003ci\u003eSonnets to Orpheus\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e(1923).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 8.02 x 5.22 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 27, 1990\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52553710305587,"sku":"9780679732457","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/LbTzk-1Jke9780679732457.webp?v=1761112422","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-notebooks-of-malte-laurids-brigge-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
