"Who are you, Rainer? Not a German, even though you were born in Germany! Not Czech, although you were born in the Czech Republic (NB! in a country that didn't exist yet - that fits!), not Austrian, because Austria was, and you will be! Isn't that wonderful? You have no homeland!" - wrote to Rainer Maria Rilke by Marina Tsvetaeva. But the poet still had a homeland: not only that inexpressible and eternal realm of existence, to the knowledge of which poetry has been striving since ancient times, but also the blossoming old Europe, in which "all the color, all the rot of empires" came together. In love with Russia, tender, broken and passionate, Rainer Maria Rilke became one of the most important poets of the 20th century. The collection "German Classics in Translations by Vladimir Letuchy" opens with a collection of Rilke's brilliant prose - from the novel "Notes of Malthe Laurids Brigge" to prose poems and sad parable-like "Stories about the Beloved God".
