This is the first complete translation of Rainer Maria Rilke's The Book of Hours (Das Stunden-Buch) in more than forty years. This bilingual edition provides English-speaking readers with access to a critical work in the development of the most significant figure in twentieth-century German poetry. Kidder's delicately nuanced translation preserves Rilke's uncomplicated and melodic flow, his rhythm, and, where possible, his rhyme while remaining true to content.

Rilke penned The Book of Hours between 1899 and 1903 in three parts. Readers and experts alike consider the collection among Rilke's most important and enduring works.

Looked beautiful
The merchandise was what I needed. The delivery was not accurate however. The order was dropped off 3 apartment doors away from where I live. I had to guess where it was after the emailed delivery notice.

It works
Manageable to dress in, and pre-tied relieves the burden to tie it on manually every time.

Very happy with purchase. Great value, looks and quality.
These shirts are incredible value for the money. The fabric is of fantastic quality, a nice thickness, not see-through (appropriate for work/office attire), stretchy, breathable and wrinkle-free. And it isn’t flimsy like you’d expect in dress shirts in this price range. The colors are just like the images - accurate. The Shirts feels and looks far more expensive than the listed prices here. I like these so much that I ended up buying 8 of these in different colors. Definitely recommend these ! Note on Sizing: I had first ordered the AI-recommended L size, and although I was able to wear it, it was hugging my body, and figured that it would fit me well IF I was in perfect shape. If you have a few extra Lbs like I do, or if you like a little bit of room in your clothing, I’d recommend a size higher. So I ended up returning the L and ordered the XL. So if you’re slightly out of shape, go with one size higher. If you’re in good shape - these run true to size.
