informative inspiring reflective medium-paced
difficult to rate as i found some of the letters inspiring and others a slog.

overall its clear this is a very talented writer that has some helpful advice to share.

the man himself though? very much of his time..

"[...] eu não saberia dar nenhum conselho senão este: voltar-se para si mesmo e sondar as profundezas de onde vem a sua vida."

Para além de reflexões sobre a arte e poesia, Rilke nos guia em uma jornada de introspecção e humildade. Com palavras gentis, um enorme senso de empatia e reflexões muito belas, ele convida o jovem Sr. Kappus a olhar para si, se questionar sobre suas necessidades e anseios, refletir sobre a natureza, a sociedade e as emoções. 

Admiro muito que Rilke vê a vida com tamanha reverência. Está atento à todas formas de beleza, até mesmo das emoções e momentos mais desagradáveis. Sem dúvidas é uma leitura muito inspiradora!
