LESUNG: Sandra Richter
In the organizer's words:
A biography for Rilke's 150th anniversary
To be open and to write, that was all Rilke wanted: a modest and at the same time ambitious wish. As an author, he experienced "the whole of life [...] as if it ran right through him with all its possibilities". But also with all its contradictions: Rilke fled from his muses and could not be without them, lamented the consequences of man-made progress and was enthusiastic about technology, he loved the simple life and had a pronounced fondness for beautiful things and residences. With The Notes of Malte Laurids Brigge, he created one of the first modern novels and epoch-making cycles of poetry whose expressive power still resonates today.
Attend the reading with Sandra Richter and enjoy the exchange with Gottfried Haufe on the 150th birthday of the famous poet Rainer Maria Rilke.
