El libro que ha cambiado la vida de generaciones de lectores sensibles, artistas, escritores, solitarios. En sus páginas late la intensidad de una voz que sigue hablándonos con la intimidad de una confesion y la claridad de una revelacion." El Pais (11/01/2004)Cartas a un joven poeta, de Rainer Maria Rilke, reune las misivas que el autor envio a Franz Xaver Kappus entre 1903 y 1908. Lo que comienza como la respuesta a un joven que busca consejo literario se transforma en una obra maestra sobre la introspeccion, la vocacion y la sensibilidad.Rilke no ofrece recetas, sino una mirada serena y profunda sobre los grandes temas humanos: el amor, la creacion, la soledad, el miedo, el tiempo. Con un lenguaje poetico, pero accesible, estas cartas son lectura imprescindible para quienes se sienten incomprendidos, para los que buscan en la escritura una forma de existencia y para los que necesitan confiar mas en su voz interior. Esta nueva edicion presenta una cuidada traduccion y un prologo contemporaneo que abren nuevas puertas al lector actual, adolescente o adulto, que desea volver al centro de si mismo en medio de la complejidad del mundo.
