Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke

5.0

---

Reading this book for the second time, this time in French, was an incredibly enjoyable experience. I found that reading in French made it even more captivating, as I focused deeply to grasp Rilke's profound words. This man is incredibly wise and fascinating. It's mind blowing how this book can transform one's perspective on life. Among the ten letters, I must mention that letter 7 is so well written I found myself returning to it repeatedly. Without a doubt, this book has secured a place in my top 5 favorites
