{"product_id":"rilkes-book-of-hours","title":"Rilke's Book of Hours","description":"\u003cb\u003eA FINALIST FOR THE PEN\/WEST TRANSLATION AWARD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 100th Anniversary Edition of a global classic, containing beautiful translations along with the original German text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile visiting Russia in his twenties, Rainer Maria Rilke, one of the twentieth century's greatest poets, was moved by a spirituality he encountered there. Inspired, Rilke returned to Germany and put down on paper what he felt were spontaneously received prayers. \u003ci\u003eRilke's Book of Hours\u003c\/i\u003e is the invigorating vision of spiritual practice for the secular world, and a work that seems remarkably prescient today, one hundred years after it was written.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRilke's Book of Hours\u003c\/i\u003e shares with the reader a new kind of intimacy with God, or the divine--a reciprocal relationship between the divine and the ordinary in which God needs us as much as we need God. Rilke influenced generations of writers with his Letters to a Young Poet, and now \u003ci\u003eRilke's Book of Hours\u003c\/i\u003e tells us that our role in the world is to love it and thereby love God into being. These fresh translations rendered by Joanna Macy, a mystic and spiritual teacher, and Anita Barrows, a skilled poet, capture Rilke's spirit as no one has done before.","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":54086119850322,"sku":"9781594481567","price":17.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_8c95e3e2-50e3-4c04-880d-1d132b20282c.jpg?v=1784901610","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/rilkes-book-of-hours","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
