Written when Rainer Maria Rilke was himself still a young man with most of his greatest work before him, they are addressed to a student who had sent Rilke some of his work, asking for advice about becoming a writer. The two never met, but over a period of several years Rilke wrote him these ten letters, which have been enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of readers for what Stephen Mitchell calls the \"vibrant and deeply felt experience of life\" that informs them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLetters written over a period of several years on the vocation of writing by a poet whose greatest work was still to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRainer Marie Rilke, the great Austro-German poet, was the author of many works including \u003cb\u003eDuino Elegies\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eSonnets to Orpheus\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStephen Mitchell's translations include Ahead of \u003cb\u003eAll Parting: The Selected Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke, The Book of Job\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eTao Te Ching\u003c\/b\u003e, and, most recently, \u003cb\u003eBhagavad-Gita\u003c\/b\u003e.
