Letters to a Young Poet

di Rainer Maria Rilke (Autore)

Paradox Audios, 2025

Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke is a timeless collection of ten letters written between 1902 and 1908 by the Austrian poet to a young aspiring writer named Franz Xaver Kappus. In these deeply reflective and profoundly personal letters, Rilke offers wisdom, guidance, and encouragement about the creative process, the nature of art, solitude, love, and the inner life of an artist. Rather than giving technical advice about writing, Rilke urges Kappus to look inward—to trust his own instincts and emotions as the true source of creativity. He emphasizes patience, self-discovery, and the acceptance of uncertainty as essential elements of an artist’s path. The letters explore universal themes such as loneliness, beauty, the struggles of artistic creation, and the necessity of living a full and contemplative life. More than a correspondence between a poet and his protégé, Letters to a Young Poet serves as a philosophical and spiritual guide for anyone seeking meaning, authenticity, and creative fulfillment. It remains one of the most beloved works of modern literature, celebrated for its lyrical prose and timeless insight into the human condition.
