Elegy for Duino -- The Book of Everything

Author: (Austrian) Rilke, translated by Liu Haoming
Publisher:
Publishing Date: 2005-01-01
Features: This book aims to provide basic literature for understanding Rilke's theological thought. In addition to Duino Elegies and Sonnets to Orpheus, Lessing's "Rilke's Religious View" offers a comprehensive and critical analysis of Rilke's theological thought, including important materials on religious ideas from Rilke's diaries and letters. This article is suitable for introductory reading. Guardini's "The Angel and the Man" is the second chapter of his book on interpreting Elegies. The concept of the "Angel" is a decisive element in Rilke's theological thought, and Guardini's analysis helps deepen the understanding of Rilke's theological ideas. The translation of Rilke's poetry into Chinese is extremely challenging, to the extent that despite Rilke's high reputation in the Chinese literary world, Duino Elegies and Sonnets to Orpheus remain untranslated in their entirety. The translator, Mr. Linke of the German Department at Sichuan International Studies University, has devoted years to studying Rilke and spent several years translating these two works, making it a rare masterpiece. The study of Rilke in the Chinese academic world is still quite limited, with many enthusiasts of his poetry but few who recognize his theological thought. In the Chinese theological field, Rilke is virtually unknown. To help the Chinese literary world, academia, and theological circles understand Rilke's theological thought, and to provide intellectual and linguistic resources for the burgeoning Christian literary creation in the Chinese literary world, I have compiled this collection.
