Letters to a Young Poet: The Norton Centenary Edition

Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet is a beautifully crafted edition of one of the most beloved classics of the 20th century, published in celebration of W.W.

Norton's 100th anniversary.

This slim volume of letters from Rainer Maria Rilke to a nineteen-year-old cadet and aspiring poet named Franz Xaver Kappus has touched millions of readers since its first publication in English in 1934.

The translator, Mary Dows Herter Norton, played a crucial role in elevating Rilke's reputation in the English-speaking world.

This new edition commemorates Polly Norton and the company she co-founded, with an admiring foreword by Damion Searls and an afterword by the President of W.W.

Norton & Company, Julia A.

Reidhead.

The book brings Rilke's enduring wisdom about life, love, and art to a new generation in the translation that first introduced him to the English-speaking world.
