The winning dragon. Rilke R.M.

“Who are you, Rainer? Not German, although - a whole Germany! Not Czech, although he was born in the Czech Republic (NB! In a country that was not yet - it is suitable!), Not an Austrian, because there was Austria, but you will be! Isn't it wonderful? You have no homeland! " - wrote Rainer Maria Rilke Marina Tsvetaeva. But the poet’s homeland was still: not only the indescribable and eternal region of being, to the knowledge of which poetry has been striving since ancient times, but also the fading old Europe, in which “all color, all the rot of empires” came together. The in love with Russia, gentle, broken and passionate, Rainer Maria Rilke became the most important poets of the 20th century.

The collection “German classic in the translations of Vladimir Flying” opens a collection of brilliant prose of Rilke-from the novel “Notes by Maltte Laurids Brigge”, to prose-fist and reminiscent of the sad parables of “Favorite God”.
