Over six years, Rainer Maria Rilke wrote a series of letters to a young officer, advising him on writing, love, misery, and the nature of advice. These profound and lyrical letters have become extremely influential for writers and artists of all kinds. This edition also includes the 'Letter from a Young Worker', a powerful polemic against Christianity that is also written in letter form.
