Das Stunden-Buch by Rainer Maria Rilke
"Das Stunden-Buch" by Rainer Maria Rilke is a collection of poetry written between 1899 and 1903. This three-part cycle emerged from Rilke's transformative journeys to Russia, where he encountered vast landscapes and deep Orthodox spirituality. Through dreamy, melodic verses, Rilke engages in an intimate dialogue with a pantheistic God—sometimes neighbor, sometimes distant mystery. The work explores themes of monasticism, pilgrimage, poverty, and death, establishing Rilke's reputation as a religious poet while showcasing
his distinctive musicality and turn-of-the-century aesthetic sensibility. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
