by Rainer Maria Rilke (Author), J. Linton (Translator)

The Notebook of Malte Laurids Brigge is semi-autobiographical and is written in an expressionistic style, dealing with themes of alienation, unfamiliarity, death by illness, longing, childhood memories and the Parable of the Prodigal Son. It was conceptualized and written whilst Rilke lived in Paris. This amazing novel was the only work of prose of considerable length that he wrote and published.
