Die Weise von Liebe und Tod des Cornets Christoph Rilke by Rainer Maria Rilke
"Die Weise von Liebe und Tod des Cornets Christoph Rilke" by Rainer Maria Rilke is a short narrative written in 1899. An eighteen-year-old nobleman rides to Hungary to fight the invading Turks in 1663. He becomes a cornet, a flag bearer, and experiences friendship, love, and honor. When the castle where he stays is attacked and set ablaze, he must choose between safety and duty. The lyrical prose explores themes of youth,
longing, love, and death. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
