A review by aeudaimonia
The Essential Rilke by Galway Kinnell, Hannah Liebmann
emotional
inspiring
reflective
4.0
Rilke's originals are simply divine and defy a 0-5 scale. "Whoever we are at the end..." Phenomenal.
The translation is... okay. It's like, fine. Thank God they included the German, but, even for someone who's rusty in the language, it inevitably exposes the translation's inadequacies. But it is, bare minimum, adequate. The four stars is just for the translation. Don't come for me.
