In these audacious poems, a devout but candid speaker addresses an ultimately unknowable deity, passing through love, fear, guilt, anger, bewilderment, loneliness, tenderness, and exaltation in his search for meaning.In this dual-language edition, Edward Snow, the most trustworthy and exhilarating of Rilkes contemporary translators (Michael Dirda, Washington Post), makes Rilkes achievement accessible as never before in English. Snow retains a striking fidelity to the German text while also conveying the captivating psychological presence that animates Rilkes best poems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52158757896480,"sku":"NEW1324074965","price":35.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71LP5uMb96L.jpg?v=1786084513","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-book-of-hours-1324074965","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
