A review by azieyosabor
Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke

inspiring reflective fast-paced

3.5

“for one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation. i hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other.”

if you're looking for a book that explores the creative process, morality, and the essence of life itself, you should check out ”letters to a young poet”. it's a classic collection of 10 letters written by the famous german poet rainer maria rilke. the book provides valuable advice and philosophical musings on writing and living.

rilke's insights and wisdom are relevant to all of us, no matter our age or experience. while the letters may not always be poetic, they're consistently thought-provoking and inspiring.

as a young teen myself, i found it hard to fully understand rilke's masterpiece, but i know that i'll come back to it again and again. the most important thing i learned from these letters is the significance of being alone in finding our place in this world. rilke captures this topic beautifully.
