Ich weiß nicht so genau was ich darüber denken soll. Nur 2 Sterne wollte ich es geben aber es ist eine Schande da es einige (wenige) Sachen gab die ich mochte. Aber die meisten Sachen liesen Rainer Maria Rilke wie ein jammerlicher wenn nicht sogar arroganter Mann erscheinen. Sehr viele Sexistische Sachen und er schien sich über alles mögliche zu beschweren (Kopfschmerzen, Leben, etc.)
Sehr unsympathisch, obwohl anfang wegen seinen Komplimenten zu Kupper er noch sehr nett wirkte.
Aber abgesehen davon ist Rainer Maria Rilkes Weltansicht sehr pessimistisch und ich würde sogar wagen zu sagen falsch.

I'm not sure what to think of it. I would only give it 2 stars but that's a shame as I liked a few things he said, but most of the things really just made Rainer Maria Rilke look like a whiny or even arrogant man as he is very sexistic and seems to complain a lot (headache, life, etc.)
The man just seemed very unsympathetic even though, I, at first liked how he always praised the person he wrote to, the way Kuppa wrote and stuff. But except that his world view is very pessimistic and I would even dare to say wrong.
