Substantially revised and enhanced by renowned translator Edward Snow, this collection showcases the great poet's mastery of imagery and metaphysical insight. With a selection of previously untranslated pieces alongside Rilke's most beloved lyrics, such as "Autumn," "Childhood," "Lament," "Evening," and "Entrance," The Book of Images invites readers to immerse themselves in the haunting beauty of Rilke's poetic landscapes.

Capturing the essence of Rilke's mystical and existential vision, Snow's translations illuminate the Austrian poet's unparalleled ability to weave together the spiritual and the earthly. This bilingual edition offers a unique opportunity for readers to savor the original German verses alongside their English renderings, revealing the depth and nuance of Rilke's language.
