There are ten letters written to a young man about to enter the German military.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the very beginning of the 1903, Rilke received a letter from a twenty-year old lieutenant of Austro-Hungarian army Franz Kappus. Verses were enclosed to the letter: the lieutenant turned out to be a poet. Rilke answered. Rilke wrote Franz Kappus ten letters; the last of them is dated by December 1908. After Rilke's death, the letters were published in a separate book entitled \"Letters To A Young Poet\". Of all Rilke's extensive correspondence, these letters won the greatest popularity. It is explained by their content: there is nothing personal or private in them; Rilke wrote about the poetry, nature of poetic works, irony, loneliness, love etc. His philosophy-aesthetic views of that time are well reflected in these letters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Black Eagle Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50522836893970,"sku":"9781645604303","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_bab203c1-b6bb-406e-b0d1-fab14093318a.jpg?v=1731125972","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/letters-to-a-young-poet-and-poems-9781645604303","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
