The strait of twilight

Author: Rainer Maria Rilke Publication date: 2025 Book category: Self-development Publisher: Waseem Publications Number of pages: 130 Format: Paperback Summary: Among Rilke's extensive correspondence heritage, we find about twenty condolence letters, in which he addresses the topics of loss and consolation, wearing the garment of a sensitive and serious guide who illuminates the way in facing those painful dimensions that are unavoidable in life, making them less harsh and more bearable. These letters, compiled for the first time in a book, generally depict a path that begins with confronting death without ambiguity, ending with a profound personal transformation. If each letter is read individually, they may offer comfort to those suffering the pain of loss, and at the same time serve as a helpful aid for those seeking to find the right words to express feelings of empathy and condolence with the bereaved.
