Winner of the 2016 Marfield Prize In 1902, Rainer Maria Rilke-then a struggling poet in Germany-went to Paris to research and write a short book about the sculptor Auguste Rodin. The two were almost polar opposites: Rilke in his twenties, delicate and unknown; Rodin in his sixties, carnal and revered. Yet they fell into an instantaneous friendship. Transporting readers to early twentieth-century Paris, Rachel Corbetts You Must Change Your Life is a vibrant portrait of Rilke and Rodin and their circle, revealing how deeply Rodins ideas about art and creativity influenced Rilkes classic Letters to a Young Poet. 16 illustrations
