Rainer Maria Rilke was a giant of twentieth-century writing who remains  a visionary voice for our own time, captivating readers not only with  his brilliance but also his fearlessness about the \"deepest things.\"  Speaking through his own contradictions and ambivalences, he gives  readers a profound understanding of the complex beauty of human  existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere, questions matter more than answers. Here, a poet can speak  directly to God while also doubting God. Astonishingly, this is the  first major study of Rilke from a spiritual perspective, even though  the greatest of Rilke' s gifts was to show how inevitably life centers  upon a profound mystery-to which we can freely open ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on her deep understanding of the gifts of Rilke's writings,  as well as her own personal spiritual seeking, Stephanie Dowrick offers  an intimate and accessible appreciation of this most exceptional poet  and his transcendent work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120756900080,"sku":"9781101547489","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101547489_p0.jpg?v=1763687733","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101547489","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
