{"product_id":"9780141192321","title":"Letters to a Young Poet","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the start of the twentieth century, Rainer Maria Rilke wrote a series of letters to a young officer cadet, advising him on writing, love, sex, suffering and the nature of advice itself; these profound and lyrical letters have since become hugely influential for writers and artists of all kinds. This book also contains the '\u003cem\u003eLetter from a Young Worker\u003c\/em\u003e', a striking polemic against Christianity written in letter-form, near the end of Rilke's life. In Lewis Hyde's introduction, he explores the context in which these letters were written and how the author embraced his isolation as a creative force. Charlie Louth's afterword discusses the similarities and contrasts of the two works, and Rilke's religious and sexual wordplay. This edition also contains a chronology, notes, and suggested further reading.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdited and Translated by Charlie Louth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Times","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51781223121142,"sku":"9780141192321","price":58.5,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/8050\/3286\/files\/91MwiSlca1L._SL1500.jpg?v=1791015252","url":"https:\/\/shop.litbooks.com.my\/products\/9780141192321","provider":"Lit Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
