About This Novel

"The Complete Works of Rilke" is translated based on the 12-volume "The Complete Works of Rilke" (Rainer Maira Rilke. S? Mtliche Werke in zw? Lf B? Nden) published by Island Publishing House in 1975. The Chinese version has 11 volumes in total. This volume collects works created by Rilke from 1894 to 1902. There are works published by the poet at his own expense, as well as original manuscripts, which were not officially published during the poet's lifetime. Among them are "Life and Song", which he later completely denied, and the poem "Chicory" The compilation of songs also includes "The Eleven Visions of Christ" and "Celebration of You", which he cherishes. The former was hidden by him because of its religious attitude, while the latter was specially composed for his lover Salome. According to Salome's wishes, it was not known to outsiders during his lifetime. In addition, there are all his poetic dramas, which are short in length and basically only construct a scene with few characters, either monologues or dialogues. Some of the poet's important works at this stage, such as "Celebrate Me", "The Marquise in White", "Flagbearer" and "Prayer", all have first drafts and revised drafts respectively. The time span between the first draft and the revised draft varies. These first drafts are also included in this volume. The final drafts of these works are arranged in the first volume of the complete collection. Therefore, if readers want to understand the overall picture of Rilke's early poetry creation, they may wish to read the first volume together with this volume.
