Editorial : From Publishers Weekly A year after Rilke's death in 1926, Salom‚-his former lover, novelist, memoirist and muse extraordinaire-wrote this memoir of sorts documenting the poet's rich inner life. Salom‚ served not only as Rilke's primary muse, but also as his lifelong correspondent and his most trusted literary confidante. Her memoir, now translated into English for the first time, bears witness to Rilke's self-doubts and insecurities as well as his greatest triumphs, culminating in the composition of his famous Duino Elegies. Although Salom‚ has the potential to offer an unusually personal perspective on her one-time lover, she maintains a cool distance from him at all times.

Never before available in English, You Alone Are Real to Me documents the relationship between Salomé and Rainer Maria Rilke that spanned almost 30 years. Salomé gives an intimate account of Rilke’s poetic development from the early romantic poems to the sculpted new poems and the final breakthrough of the Elegies. From their romantic beginnings to the later twists and turns of their separate lives, Rilke appealed to Salomé during times of crisis in his writing as well as in the intimate matters of his life. Salomé captures both the summit and the abyss of Rilke’s creative struggle. The memoir offers a stunning portrait of Rilke, as we in the English-speaking world have never really seen him. Richly illustrated with photos, this book is an indispensable work on the author of The Duino Elegies, as well as a rich resource for the growing interest in Salomé.Lou Andreas-Salomé was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, but
Desiree is loony and needs to be locked up!! Colby Taylor u are so right these men are not from the Hudson series bc those men knew how to love and did not play any games to claim their women. This is one of the best that I've found.. Her new book provides an excellent overview of the legal technical for handling tree related disputes , but more importantly it provides her sound opinions and philosophy on how attorneys should approach most neighbor vs. It was satisfying yet unclear at once. I would compare it to Paul Kurtz's "A Skeptic's Handbook of Parapsychology" (1985), but this one is quite dated nowadays. So I read it again to learn why it was so memorable It is essentially about inner conviction in the face of social ostracism and cynicism ("right thinking") on the part of one's social peers and family. but it was a good book. That was probably one of the highlights of the book for me.. There are a few things I learned while reading the ebook that I normally don't do when I am do
