A proposito di questo titolo

 In the Company of Rilke is an audiobook about a rare poet. Rainer Maria Rilke was a giant of 20th-century writing who is increasingly a visionary voice for our own time, captivating readers not only with his brilliance but also his fearlessness about the 'deepest things'. Speaking through his own contradictions and ambivalences, he gives readers a profound understanding of the complex beauty of human existence. Here, questions matter more than answers. Here, a poet can speak directly to God while also doubting God. Astonishingly, this is the first major study of Rilke from a spiritual perspective yet the greatest of Rilke's gifts was to show how inevitably life centres upon a profound mystery – to which we can freely open ourselves. Drawing on her own deep understanding of the gifts of reading, as well as her personal spiritual seeking, Stephanie Dowrick offers an intimate understanding of this most exceptional poet and his transcendent, piercingly beautiful work.©2009 Wise Angels Pty Ltd (P)2013 Bolinda Publishing Europea Filosofia Letteratura mondiale Poesia Storia e critica della letteratura
