A gorgeous edition of one of the most beloved classics of the twentieth century, published in celebration of W. W. Norton's 100th anniversary.
This slim volume of letters from the poet and mystic, Rainer Maria Rilke, to a nineteen-year-old cadet and aspiring poet named Franz Xaver Kappus, has touched millions of readers since it was first published in English in 1934. The translator, Mary Dows Herter Nortona polymath extraordinaire with expertise in music, literature, and science, and who, along with her husband, William Warder Norton, founded the company that bears his nameplayed a crucial role in elevating Rilke's reputation in the English-speaking world.

An admiring foreword by Damion Searlshimself a recent translator of Rilke's Letterscelebrates Polly's stylistic achievement, and an afterword by Norton's President, Julia A.
