Letters to a Friend from Venice, by Rainer Maria Rilke

Despite the high status occupied by the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke in world poetry, he remains almost unknown in the language of the Arabs. The few translations made of some of his works hardly meet the need, especially since they were done through a second language, not his mother tongue. And because he was a traveler who never tired or bored, Rilke left poetic works that reflect places he visited, cities he traveled to, museums he wandered in, seas he loved, mountains he walked alone in, and rivers he stood in front of, contemplating his destiny and the destiny of humanity as a whole. He also left poetic works that reflect human anxiety in the twentieth century, as well as his horror of death, and his happiness in love. Number of pages: 100
