The full name of the Collection of German Literature Masters: Brig's Notes is "Mart Lauritz Brig's Notes", which is the peak reached in Rilke's creative career. The novel narrates the memories and confessions of a Danish young poet who was born into a declining aristocracy and has an unsociable and sensitive personality. To a certain extent, it is a portrayal of the author himself. The novel is composed of seventy-one notebook fragments with no continuous plot and no chronological order. Because of the common themes - loneliness, fear, disease, death, love, God, creation, etc., These fragments express the various spiritual issues that Rilke has been concerned about throughout his life. They form a special organic whole in the spiritual undercurrent, and are known as one of the important pioneer works of modern existentialism.

During his stay in Paris, he wrote notes after notes in a hotel room with deserted walls, recording the profound changes in his heart and his reborn growth.
