The Light That Grows Upward: Selected Prose by Rilke
About This Novel
In Rilke's world, the two words that appear most frequently are "loneliness" and "love". He believes that a young man should not love in a hurry, because he needs to learn and understand a lot before he can complete this final feat. "The Light that Grows Upward" is a representative collection of Rilke's essays. Rilke's prose can be roughly divided into three categories: art criticism, letters, and humorous essays. His critical articles are all in prose style, without the obstacles of purely theoretical terms, and have the vivid literary grace unique to the poet. The letter is an important crystallization of his burning life and a concentrated expression of his personality charm. The essays are not only the sparks of his thoughts, but also his reflections on what he has seen and heard, or sketches written after conception. It can be described as "colorful, full of emotion and richness". Reading Rilke, one can draw the power of faith from his experience and his penetrating analysis and insights on people, the world, and life, and have the light of upward growth between courage, love, and responsibility.
