Synopsis "Sonnets to Orpheus "

Rainer Maria Rilke's fifty-five Sonnets to Orpheus were written over a few days in an astonishing burst of inspiration. Described by Rilke himself as "a spontaneous inner dictation," the sequence is among the most famous works of modernist literature, and Christiane Marks's fresh new translations succeed in evoking Rilke's music--often sacrificed in translation--opening a new window on these poems, for old and new Rilke lovers alike. The result of nearly two decades of memorization, research, and fine-tuning, Marks's translations, only the second by a woman and the first by a native German speaker, recapture Rilke's astonishingly contemporary, often colloquial style.

(Praga, 1875 - Valmont, 1926) Escritor checo en lengua alemana. Fue el poeta en lengua alemana más relevante e influyente de la primera mitad del siglo XX; amplió los límites de expresión de la lírica y extendió su influencia a toda la poesía europea.

Después de abandonar la Academia Militar de Mährisch-Weiskirchen, ingresó en la Escuela de Comercio de Linz y posteriormente estudió historia del arte e historia de la literatura en Praga. Residió en Munich, donde en 1897 conoció a Lou Andreas-Salomé, quince años mayor que él, y que tuvo una influencia decisiva en su pasaje a la madurez. Decidido a no ejercer ningún oficio y a dedicarse plenamente a la literatura, emprendió numerosos viajes. Visitó Italia y Rusia (en compañía de Lou Andreas-Salomé), conoció a León Tolstói y entró en contacto con la mística ortodoxa.
