In these audacious poems, a devout but intimately candid speaker addresses an ultimately unknowable deity. “What will you do, God, when I die?” Rilke’s speaker asks, passing through love, fear, guilt, anger, bewilderment, loneliness, tenderness and exaltation in his search for meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this dual-language edition, Edward Snow, “the most trustworthy and exhilarating of Rilke’s contemporary translators” (Michael Dirda, The Washington Post), makes Rilke’s achievement accessible as never before in English. Snow combines striking fidelity to the German text with an uncanny ability to convey not just its tones and cadences but the captivating psychological presence that animates Rilke’s best poems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"rainer maria rilke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47735988093169,"sku":"9781324074960","price":50.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/8455\/9857\/files\/wc_moonlightbookclub_rainermariarilkethebookofhours_01.jpg?v=1771427980","url":"https:\/\/moonlightartscollective.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-book-of-hours-by-rainer-maria-rilke","provider":"Moonlight Arts Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
