LETTERS TO A YOUNG POET - THE CENTENARY EDITION...

These letters from the poet and mystic Rainer Maria Rilke to a nineteen-year-old cadet and
aspiring poet have inspired millions of readers since they were first published in English in
1934. The first and most popular translator of this work was Mary Dows Herter Norton-a polymath
extraordinaire who played a crucial role in elevating Rilke's global reputation. The Norton
Centenary Edition commemorates this extraordinary woman  known as Polly to friends and
colleagues  and celebrates the 100th anniversary of the publishing company she co-founded. With
a foreword by Damion Searls and an afterword by Norton's current president  Julia Reidhead 
this handsome new edition brings Rilke's enduring wisdom about life  love and art to a new
generation.
