From his Paris garret, Brigge records his encounters with the city and its outcasts, muses on his family history, and lays bare his earliest experiences of fear, tenderness, and desolation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a poet's feel for language and a keen instinct for storytelling, Rainer Maria Rilke forges a dazzlingly fractured coming-of-age narrative, kaleidoscopic in its alternation of vivid present encounters and equally alive memories of childhood. Strikingly contemporary, \u003cem\u003eThe Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge\u003c\/em\u003e reveals a writer metabolizing his own experiences to yield still-essential questions about fiction and reality, empathy and psychosis, and--above all--life, love, and death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a fascinating introduction, award-winning translator Edward Snow explores the overlaps between Rilke's experiences and those of his protagonist, and shows with granular attention the novel's capacity for nuance and sympathy. Snow's exquisite translation captures as never before the astonishing cadences and musical clarity of the poet's prose. It reveals \u003cem\u003eThe Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge\u003c\/em\u003e as an urgent contemporary achievement, more than one hundred years after it was written.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 8.24 x 5.56 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 21, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51764814709024,"sku":"9781324066088","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/71ce5dab861dafb4c0232bf6b33d390f.webp?v=1780255495","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/notebooks-of-malte-laurids-brigge-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
