Rainer Maria Rilke
René Karl Wilhelm Johann Josef Maria Rilke, better known as Rainer Maria Rilke, is an Austrian poet and novelist of Bohemian origin. He is "recognized by many as one of the most lyrical German-speaking poets". He wrote both poetry and prose very lyrically. Some critics have called Rilke's work "mystical". His works include a novel, a number of poetry collections and several volumes, in which he presents images that highlight the difficulty of communicating with the inevitable during the period. skepticism, loneliness and suffering. These themes placed him as a transitional figure between traditional and modern writers. Rilke traveled extensively throughout Europe and in later years settled in Switzerland - the background was key to the origins and inspiration of many of his poems. While Rilke is best known for his contributions to German literature, over 400 original poems have been written in French and dedicated to Swiss Valais.
