Item #27494 The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge. Translation by Stephen Mitchell. Rainer Maria Rilke.

The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge. Translation by Stephen Mitchell.

New York: Random House, 1983. First Printing of this new Translation. A Near Fine copy with previous owner notation on flyleaf in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. Rilke insisted that this book was not autobiographical, but despite its imaginary background it is profoundly self-revealing. Many of the episodes can be traced to Rilke's own life. The title character is a searcher, a man who takes stock of himself, searches out his childhood, depicts fears, sensations, unexpected thoughts with a exactness that is extraordinarily suggestive.
